Pecan Mushroom Burgers

(sorry for the crappola pics!)

Hey guys, I believe this is from delish.com.  These were fantastic!

You'll Need:

2/3 cup(s) bulgur
3/4 teaspoon(s) salt, divided
1 cup(s) boiling water
6 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
8 ounce(s) white or brown mushrooms, stems trimmed, wiped clean, and chopped
1 1/2 cup(s) (1 large) chopped onion (I used Vidalia)
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup(s) pecan halves
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup(s) fine dry breadcrumbs

Directions:

Place bulgur and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over, cover, and set aside until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Drain in a sieve, pressing out excess liquid.

Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Immediately transfer the mixture to a plate and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Toast pecans in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until fragrant, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.

Combine the vegetable mixture and pecans in a food processor; pulse briefly until coarsely chopped. Add egg and the bulgur; pulse briefly, scraping down the sides if necessary, until the mixture is cohesive but roughly textured. Transfer to a bowl; stir in breadcrumbs and pepper. Mix well.

With dampened hands, form the mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties, using about 1/2 cup for each.

Using 2 teaspoons oil per batch, cook 4 patties at a time in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until evenly browned and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Meanwhile, split and toast buns, if using, to serve the burgers on. Garnish the burgers with watercress and the cheese sauce, if desired.

I topped my burgers with Marie's yogurt feta dressing.
