    Basmati Rice Veggie Burgers with Quick Pistachio Mayonnaise

    By Alisa Fleming on June 2, 2021 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sandwiches

    This creative basmati rice veggie burgers recipe is a sample from The Gluten-Free Vegetarian Kitchen by Donna Klein. Donna studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and has written several cookbooks. All of her recipes are vegetarian, and she focuses on gluten-free cuisine, but she also has several vegan collections. This particular recipe is dairy-free, but it does use an egg. We’ve included an egg-free and vegan option below for those who need it.

    Special Diet Notes: Basmati Rice Veggie Burgers

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, peanut-free, soy-free, and vegetarian.

    • For egg-free and vegan burgers, I recommend using 3 tablespoons aquafaba in place of the egg.
    • For nut-free, simply omit the pistachios from the mayonnaise.

    Basmati adds a unique texture to these veggie burgers, but in a pinch, you can substitute another type of cooked rice.

    Basmati Rice Veggie Burgers
    1. In a medium bowl, mix the rice, carrot (or peas or lentils), onion, egg, salt, pepper, curry powder, and cumin until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight.
    2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Shape the rice mixture into 6 balls and flatten slightly with your palms. Add the patties to the skillet and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
    3. You can serve over lettuce and top with the mayo, or place a burger on the bottom half of each roll. Spread with equal amounts (about 4 teaspoons) of the mayonnaise. Top with lettuce (if using). Cover with the roll tops and serve at once.
