Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Pinot Noir and Tempranillo are great choices for Veggie Burger. Since veggie burgers are usually lean, you'll want low to medium tannin wines. Pinot noir is a great choice. Another option is Spanish tempranillo, which pairs nicely with the earthy flavors you might have from beans, lentils, mushrooms, etc. The The Donum Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 67 dollars per bottle.

The Donum Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir displays abundant and intense aromas of ripe black fruits, including cherry, plum and raspberry, in a complex and concentrated nose. Smooth and richly textured, the wine offers great depth of black cherry, berry and cola flavors with notes of mineral and spice on a bright and long-lasting finish.

Instructions

In a large covered saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over medium heat. Add the bulghur and carrots, remove from the heat, cover and let stand until the bulghur has softened and absorbed all the liquid, about 15 minutes. Drain well. In a large bowl, mash the tofu. Stir in the bulghur mixture, egg white, mint, scallions and cayenne, stirring well. Stir in the bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of the flour, the ketchup and mustard. Preheat the oven to 400F. Form the bulghur mixture into 4 patties about 1 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter. Dredge the patties in the remaining flour. In a large nonstick skillet, warm the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the patties to the skillet and saute until crusty, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a nonstick baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. Serve the burgers on the hamburger buns with the lettuce, tomato and alfalfa sprouts. NOTES : The beef hamburger is appreciated for many reasonsits nutritional attributes, however, not being among them. Vegetarian "burgers," on the other hand, rarely have the meatiness many people crave. This meat-loaf-style burger seasoned with mint and scallions manages to bridge the gap.
