Adda Veggie Broccoli Burgers with Secret Sauce

Ingredients

Burger Patties

• 1 package Adda Veggie Protein Mix Original Blend
• 2 heads broccoli
• 1 tbsp cooking oil (plus 1 tbsp more if not grilling)

Fixings

• 4 slices American cheese (or substitute vegan cheese)
• ½ onion, thinly sliced (plus 1/4 more for the secret sauce)
• 4 leaves butter lettuce
• 4 slices beefsteak tomato
• “Secret Sauce” (see recipe below)
• 4 kaiser rolls (or burger buns)

Instructions:

Included are directions for cooking either on the grill or over the stove.

On the grill

1. Prepare a full package of Adda Veggie using broccoli. Handshape into 4 burger-sized patties.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burger for 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate.
3. Make secret sauce (see directions below) and refrigerate.
4. Meanwhile, heat up the grill to medium heat (approx. 350° F).
5. Cut the onion into ¼-inch thick slices.  Grill the sliced onions until lightly softened and grill-marked on both sides.
6. Place cooked Adda Veggie broccoli burgers onto the grill. Once the bottom of each patty has grill marks, flip and place American cheese slice on top of each burger. Cover the grill to melt the cheese and remove the patties from the grill when the cheese is melted.
7. Slice the kaiser rolls in half and toast, cut face down, on the grill.  Remove from the grill and generously spread both buns with secret sauce. Top with butter lettuce, broccoli cheeseburger patties, sliced tomato, and grilled onions.
8. Serve immediately, with any additional secret sauce on the side.
