Impossible Burger

Ingredients

• 1 lb plant-based burger
• 1/2 tsp pepper if desired
• 4 slices Violife, Chao, or Wegmans plant cheese if desired. (Or take it slow and use real cheese for a bit - eliminating beef is still great!)
• Sliced tomatoes, ketchup, lettuce, onions, pickles, sautéed mushrooms - whatever floats your boat
• Homemade Thousand Island dressing using plant mayo (see below)
• 1/4 cup plant mayo
• 2 Tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp pickle relish
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• Keep meat cool for easiest handling - prior to handling and back into the fridge 15 min prior to cooking.
• Moisten hands frequently with water to prevent sticking while shaping.
• Try a nonstick skillet as patties break apart when you try to flip on a regular frypan. If cooking on a grill (to thoroughly confuse your guests), be sure the grate is cleaned and oiled WELL.
• ATK suggests cooking until it develops a dark, crispy crust that enhances flavor.
• Plant-based meats cook quickly, so caramelize your onions and veggies prior to adding meat, rather than browning it before cooking veggies.
• It's salty, so ATK recommends using 1/4 tsp less salt in recipes.
• Serve on toasted buns with original Vegenaise or Hellmans Vegan Mayo (I dare you to taste the difference!)
