Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup 8 ounces wild rice, uncooked (Note 1)
- 3 cups vegetable stock (Note 2)
- 3 large whole eggs
- 8 ounces canned mushrooms drained and diced
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup mashed potato flakes (Note 3)
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- avocado oil for cooking
- Serving: hamburger buns or lettuce wraps
- Toppings: provolone cheese, butter lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced avocados, BBQ sauce or hot sauce
Instructions
Make In Advance:
- In a medium saucepan with a cover, bring the vegetable stock up to a boil. Once boiling, add the wild rice. Stir. Add the cover and turn the heat down to low and simmer for 35-45 minutes. Once cooked, drain and refrigerate.
To Make The Burgers:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs. Whisk until beaten.
- To the eggs, add the cooled, cooked wild rice, diced mushrooms, mayonnaise, mashed potato flakes, ground cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika and liquid smoke. Stir until well combined.
- For easy clean up, place a piece of plastic wrap over a hamburger patty maker. Add ½ cup of the wild rice mixture into the burger maker. Press and form it into a burger patty.
- In a large skillet, add 1 teaspoon of avocado oil. Turn the heat to medium low. Once the oil is hot, add the wild rice burger patty. Cook for 4-7 minutes or until golden brown. Gently turn with a spatula. Cook the other side for 4-7 minutes. If adding cheese, place a slice on top of the patty and cover. Remove once melted.
- Serve the burger patties on hamburger buns, lettuce wraps, or bunless with toppings like BBQ sauce or hot sauce, melted provolone cheese, lettuce, sliced tomato - or use whatever you love.
Notes
Note 1: 3 cups cooked wild rice, drained and cooled.
Note 2: Use a low FODMAP vegetable stock if making a low FODMAP burger.
Note 3: Gluten free panko bread crumbs will also work.
Cooked Wild Rice: If you want to make wild rice burgers now, it's fine to cook the wild rice right before. After cooking, spread the wild rice out on a baking sheet and let it chill in the refrigerator while mixing up the other ingredients.
