Makes 3 burgers.
Ingredients:
- 1 c Dark Gluten Shreds
- 1/3 c boiling water
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp beef style vegetarian broth mix (such as McKay’s brand)
- 3/4 c minced fresh baby arugula
- 3/4 c shredded provolone cheese
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
- 6 thick slices French bread or 3 buns
- whole arugula leaves
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, soak the gluten shreds in boiling water, soy sauce and vegetarian broth mix for about 5 minutes, stirring a few times.
- Add the minced arugula and shredded provolone cheese and blend well.
- Form three thick burgers with your hands.
- In a large skillet over medium low, heat the olive oil.
- Add the burgers and allow to brown on the bottom for 2-3 minutes. (Be careful because they brown quickly.) Turn and brown the other side.
- The burgers do not require much cooking, and are done when the shredded cheese seems melted and they are hot.
- Serve on the French bread with extra arugula leaves.
