Rancho Bean, Mushroom and Feta Burger with Smoky Slaw
Ingredients
- 8 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted, crusts trimmed
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 8 oz (227 g) sliced mushrooms
- 3 tbsp Creamy Ranch Dip Mix
- 2 tbsp Herb & Garlic Dip Mix
- Sea Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 can (14 oz can/ 398 ml) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup crumbled low-fat feta cheese
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1⁄2 recipe prepared Creamy Ranch Dip
- 3 tbsp Creamy Ranch Dip Mix
- 1 cup light sour cream, or yogurt
- 1 cup light mayonnaise
Preparation
- Tear toast into small pieces. Whirl in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
- Heat oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms and Seasonings. Stir often for 6-8 minutes, until mushrooms are soft. Drain any remaining liquid, as the mixture should be as dry as possible.
- Pour mixture into food processor and add beans. Pulse until combined, but slightly chunky. Scrape into a bowl and stir in breadcrumbs and feta. Form into patties. If you have time, refrigerate patties a few hours before cooking so they hold their shape.
- Heat frying pan over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 5 minutes, then carefully and gently flip over. Continue to cook 5 more minutes.
- For the slaw, stir cabbage and carrots with Creamy Ranch Dip. Spoon over cooked burgers and serve.
