The Earth Burger Recipe

Cook the Mushrooms

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and the moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool.

Mix the Patty Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted rice, sautéed mushrooms, shredded Gouda cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Preheat the Grill

Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with the remaining olive oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the Patties

Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through. Make sure the cheese is melted.

Prepare the Toppings

While the patties are grilling, prepare the toppings. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, and set aside. If you haven't already, prepare the onion marmalade and truffled mushrooms.

Build the Burger

On the bottom half of a burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, then add the grilled patty. Top with onion marmalade and truffled mushrooms. Finish with the top half of the bun.
