Preparation

DIRECTIONS:

  • Combine the Quaker® Kettle Hearty® Oats and hot water in a 4-inch deep, full steamtable pan. Stir to combine. Cover tightly. Place in a 375 °F oven for 30 - 40 minutes, until oats are tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • If liquid is still remaining, remove the cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • In a mixer, mash beans until creamy.
  • Add tomato paste, Italian seasoning, garlic, granulated onion, and salt. Mix well.
  • Add hot, cooked oats and blend well.
  • Place in a full-size steamtable pan and let cool until batter is stiff (overnight).
    CCP: Cool in refrigeration to 70 °F within 2 hours and 40 °F within 4 hours. Hold for cold service at 40 °F.
  • Spray a parchment-lined, full-sized sheet tray with pan spray.
  • Scoop burgers onto the sheet tray using a #5 scoop. Gently press the burgers to flatten the top. Burgers should be thick, do not press too hard to flatten. Bake at 375 °F for 25 to 30minutes, or until burgers are solid and firm. Flip and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Top each veggie burger with a 1-ounce slice of mozzarella cheese. Place in a warmer.
    CCP: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
  • Warm the tomato sauce.

To assemble the burger:

  • Place the bottom of the bun on a sheet tray or steamtable pan (depending on your preference for service). ​
  • Spoon a #30 scoop (2 tablespoons) of tomato sauce into the inside of each bun. Scoop an additional #30 scoop of tomato sauce in a 2 oz. cup for dipping. Alternatively, place a #16 scoop of tomato sauce into a 2 oz. cup for dipping.
  • Place the veggie burger on the bun.
  • Garnish each burger with spinach leaves and place the bun on top. CCP: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
