Veggie Burger eaters - teach me

So I Iove to eat veggie burgers for lunch. Easy to "cook" in work microwave. Filling. I like a hot lunch over a cold sandwich. But I really do want to eat less processed foods. So, I'd like to make a batch of veggie burgers on the weekend and then eat them during the week. All of the make your own recipes seem to have you grill or fry them which doesn't work for me at the office. Do you think they would "warm up" well if I prepare them all the way on the weekend and then nuke them? Does anyone have a recipe that you do just cook in the microwave after they are prepared?

Re: Veggie Burger eaters - teach me

  • I would think if you baked or fried them and then froze them, you could heat them in the microwave.

  • Ditto Fallin'.

    I would also imagine it would depend on the type of veggie burger you make. A quinoa/lentil mixture would probably hold up pretty well.

  • do you have a toaster oven at work?

    and people make their own veggie burgers? that seems like so much work. i like the spicy black bean burgers best.

    nope re: toaster oven, fire hazard.

     There are a lot of veggie burger recipes around. I made some eggplant based ones a while back but they were a little too mushy.

  • My coworker makes her own on the weekend.  I think the recipe is in one of the Hungry Girl cookbooks but it involves fiber 1 cereal, oats, egg beaters and she puts in bell peppers and onions.  She fries them at home on a george foreman grill and then microwaves them at work. She said they warm up just fine.

  • Mark Bittman's vegetarian cookbook has several veggie burger recipes (one for each season plus some others). They are all browned in oil or butter, but each recipe notes that they can be refrigerated or frozen after being cooked.I mean, aside from the telltale microwave texture, any of them would work fine. I think the only ones that wouldn't be great would be those without much of a binder in it.

  • I'm a bad vegetarian, I've never made my own veggie burgers.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • I think they are as easy to make as a regular hamburger.  Try to find a recipe using quinoa and black beans.  They taste awesome.
