Franklin Farms Fresh Veggieburger Portabell0 burgers.
These were another bought-on-a-whim-because-it-had-an-orange-tag-at-Kroger buy. Now every time I see that $2.59 sticker they are mine. There were three freshly tagged sitting on the shelf when we went shopping on Sunday. Two packs are in my freezer and one is in my fridge.
The package contains 4 pre-grilled vegetable based patties. The pre-grilling gives them the great smoky flavor that makes them my favorite. They're super low cal/fat/sodium compared to the more popular kinds. Each one is only 100 calories but has a crazy 14 g of protein! They're also gluten free which makes my tummy hate me less, so that's good.
Cooking them can be a tiny bit tricky. They're a little crumbly and tend to fall apart unless you treat them very carefully. However, the one I made tonight was stable enough to put directly on the rack so I finally got to try one broiled. It was really great. If you can't keep them together, just throw it in the microwave or a baking dish and warm it up. I had mine on a whole wheat bun with a tomato, some lettuce, a bunch of pickles, Dijon mustard, and a little ketchup. Now I'm no vegetarian, but I'll admit this is much better than the real thing :D
They come in another variety (original recipe) at my Kroger and we've tried that one, but the portabello can't be beat. It's a double treat for me when both the fresh portabell0 mushrooms and the burgers are on sale. I'll lightly saute them and throw them on top with some mozz cheese. Ooooh man. Love.
So until I learn to make a decent homemade patty I will continue to enjoy my fresh veggieburger (when they're on sale of course).
