Making Veggie Burgers
While cooking your veggie burgers, you can "seal in" flavors while you cook. Sauteeing your veggie burger with sliced onions and fresh garlic is a tasty way to turn a drab patty into a tasty treat.
Many veggie burgers won't stand up to the moisture of a marinade, but you can baste on Teriyaki sauce while you're grilling your patty and serve it with a slice of pineapple and Swiss cheese on the bun for a Hawaiian Burger.
Toasting your bun can help keep it from getting too moist from and sauces you might be using. Plus, it helps cheeses melt. Consider toasting your bun.
Serving Veggie Burgers
For a Tex-Mex veggie burger, you can put 1/4 cup of your favorite vegetarian chili and American Cheese on the bun with your burger.
For a Caribbean burger, add some jerk chicken sauce, crumbled blue cheese and a think slice of mango to your veggie burger.
For an Indian burger, saute onions and green peppers with curry powder and butter for a savory treat you won't forget soon. If you can find paneer (Indian Cheese) you're in luck. It tastes great with this burger.
For an Italian veggie burger, you can smother the patty with marinara sauce and melt a slice of provolone cheese on top.
For a Mexican burger you can add salsa, green chiles and cheddar cheese.
For a Southwestern Burger, you can add a black bean and corn salsa with fire roasted red peppers and Jack Cheese.
Feeling French? A veggie burger with a brie-hollandaise sauce and asparagus tips is to die for.
A very veggie way to spice up your burger is by tossing it in a plastic bag with granulated garlic and olive oil, plus a slice of eggplant and Portabella mushroom. Grill them all over an open flame and stack them up to serve.
