Ingredients
Herbed Ricotta
- 8 oz ricotta whole milk, 230 g
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped fresh flat-leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried basil or dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dill dried
- salt fine sea salt
- black pepper freshly ground
Veggie Burgers
- 2/3 cup wild rice 120 g, rinsed
- 4 1/2 cups vegetable stock divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion finely diced, large
- 2 celery finely diced, stalks
- 3 carrot peeled and finely diced
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- Leaves dill chopped, from 2 sprigs
- 1/3 cup tahini 75 g
- 2 Medjool dates pitted
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs 15 g
- 16 slider buns split
Instructions
- To make the herbed ricotta: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta, garlic, parsley, basil, and ill. Season with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- To make the veggie burgers: In a large saucepan (with a lid) over high heat, combine the wild rice and 4 cups vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer, covered, until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Drain, transfer to a large bowl, and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. add the onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté until very soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Remove from the heat and fold in the chopped dill.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the tahini, dates, oregano, cayenne, mustard, and remaining 1/4 cup vegetable stock and blend until smooth.
- Add the tahini-date paste, the bread crumbs, and the sautéed vegetables to the bowl with the wild rice and fold together until combined. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Using your hands, shape 1/4 cup ( 65 g) of the mixture into a ball and then gently flatten into a patty that is about 1 inch (25 mm) thick. Transfer the patties to a plate and continue to form patties with the remaining mixture. Cover and refrigerate the patties for up to 24 hours or cook them right away.
- Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium heat.
- Arrange the patties on the grill, cover, and cook, flipping once until warmed through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Place each patty between a bun and top with herbed ricotta. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Tips & Tricks: Shelly recommends keeping these patties small as they hold together better. I can agree with this- I tried making larger patties and they definitely didn't hold together as near as well.
