Hi all,
I was with a guy over the weekend who asked me if I had ever tried using my spent grains in a veggie burger recipe.
He said that he was at a party a couple of weeks ago and one of the guests brought a bunch of veggie burgers made out of spent grain and he said they were unbelievable, quite possibly the best veggie burger he has ever tried.
I think that I'll try to make some based on this recipe. I'll post back my results, but please offer up any advice if you've tried it. this recipe is for 4 patties:
Ingredients
4 tablespoons hickory barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
2.5 cups spent beer grain
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped canned beets
1 teaspoon beet juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 egg white, add more if needed (to bind)
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 slices monterey jack cheese (optional)
Directions
1- Stir together barbecue sauce and molasses. Set aside.
2- In a large bowl, mash beans. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the barbecue mixture (reserving remaining for brushing) and remaining ingredients -- spent grains through egg white. Form into four 6 oz patties.
3- Heat olive oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium. Grill burgers for 2 minutes on one side. Turn and brush with remaining barbecue/molasses mixture. Top with Monterey Jack and grill for another 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
4- Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions and mustard on a bun which has been grilled in butter.
