Butternut Squash Burger Recipe Please

Shortie

Hi

I had a yummy butternut squash burger at a restaurant the other day and wondered if anyone had a recipe for one that they could share?

Thanks

Never seen a recipe for butternut squash burgers, but they sound lovely.

I reckon (off the top of my head) that I would make it with some lightly cooked butternut squash, finely chopped onions, some herbs, breadcrumbs and a little egg mix to bind the lot together.

Case of trial and error?

Ohhhh this forum is such an inspiration! I am off to try to make a squash and parsnip burger dinner! Thank you!

Thanks everyone - Dutchy - I didn't have much luck a few days back on Google

I seem to remember the menu mentioning buck wheat - never used tghat before - does it soak up moisture really well as butternut can be quit soggy?

Yes, I can imagine that buckwheat would absorb moisture and I agree that BNS can be soggy.

Suppose you could also use some cooked rice (yes, I know the dangers of reheating rice, so be careful how you handle it - remember the cold chain), polenta or couscous as a binding/absorbing ingredient in your burgers too?

Waitrose make a smoked cheese and BNS Burger: Two succulent burgers made from aduki beans and smoked Cheddar cheese with smooth, roasted butternut squash, spinach and pumpkin seeds, seasoned with black pepper and sage.
