Healthy(er) Burgers

“The sandwich-segment boom is based on health-conscious people perceiving sandwiches as better for them than burgers or fried chicken." - Dominick Voso

This week I made this delicious 'healthier' version of a burger, so thought will share it with you all. For the first time it would actually be in a Recipe format :)

Ingredients:

1/2 Red Onion

1 Tomato

2 Banana Peppers

Ready-to-cook Vegetable Patties

1 cup of Spinach leaves

Few Basil Leaves

Small cup of Fat-Free Mozzarella Cheese

Sandwich Thins [Oroweat]

Hummus

Chop Onions, Tomato and Banana Peppers
Also shred the basil leaves thin
Slice the Sandwich Thins
Heat the Patties on [Medium High] on a Skillet for about 8-10 minutes. Turning them continuously.
Throw in some onions to sauté on heat along with the Patties
Once the Patties are heated and dark brown, sprinkle some mozzarella and shredded basil leaves on top. Do not turn them again. Let the cheese melt on the warm Patties
Toast the Sandwich Thins
Spread a generous layer of Hummus over the Toasted Sandwich Thins
Add Spinach, Patty, Tomato, Onions, and Banana Peppers

Voilà! Now take a bite! :)

the sandwitch definitly looks yummy and HEALTHY... which is more imp...
the way u wrote the recipe in the recipe format is great....

it is yummy and delicious!!.....
definitely a recipe i will try out and thanks so much tanvi for taking the effort to write down the ingredients and method...i was one of the peole who requested you to do the same and i am really appreciating the fact that ur doing so
btw i tried out the healthy pasta recipe of urs, with my individual twist and got generous compliments from the husband, he even went to on to say that this is the best pasta ever and it was even better than the one we had at one of the high end restaurants that we had dined at some time back...i was glad to huge extent!!!!

:) Tanvi, I love the sandwich thins that are out on the market today...only 100 calories and whole wheat to boot!!! I like to layer them with a thin layer of pesto and some thin avocado and red onion slices (+ turkey bologna- I know you're vegetarian, but for us non-vegetarians there are a few more options out here)...makes for a nutritious and healthy meal!!

we usually make these kind of burgers when we go for camping and all..and they taste so good..humus is my new favorite spread that i have discovered recently..earlier i used to stick with butter/cheese but now i am trying to change towards healthy options :)

I cooked (well, helped cook) for the first time today and I've officially caught the cooking bug. I'll be trying this recipe eventually!
ElaineAugust 6, 2010 at 5:24 PM
This sounds fantastic!!! I'll have to remember that for next time. I saw one episode of Biggest Loser where they used portobello mushrooms! Thought that was pretty cool :)

I'm vegetarian but this looks and sounds pretty good (I'd just replace for a veggie patty!)

looks yum. Which brand of patties do you use? My fav is Morning Star. The Spicy Black Bean ones are to die for!!
Becca [Free Honey]August 6, 2010 at 8:37 PM
Sounds yummy. Speaking of burgers, have you ever tried Oprah's recipe for Turkey Burgers, it's all over the place online, and they are to die for. May not be as healthy as this version, but definitely delicious.

Tanvii..I love your blog. I think you have some great information here. Some of your posts are immensely reflective and some real fun to read. Looking forward to more!

First not only do I love this post but I also want to eat the food and want to learn how to make my photos like that. You are always so creative. I'm inspired. I'll have to show you how to make something one of these days.:)

What will you make me when I visit San Antonio, my dear daahling Tanuuu? :) I'll be glad that I'll be able to eat as much as I like because it will all be super healthy! :) Yayyy

That looks really delicious! I am a pretty big fan of real burger and veggie burgers, and I think I could try this with either!
