Instructions
-
For the Cabbage Buns:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cut 8 large leaves from the cabbage, ensuring they are large enough to wrap around the burger patties.
-
Remove the thick stem from each cabbage leaf to make them easier to fold.
-
Brush the cabbage leaves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
Arrange the cabbage leaves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy around the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.
For the Beef Patties:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
-
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden brown on both sides. If you want to add cheese, place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Assembling the Cabbage Burgers:
-
Place a cooked beef patty on one cabbage leaf.
-
Top with your desired toppings, such as tomato slices, pickles, lettuce, and mustard or ketchup.
-
Place another cabbage leaf on top to close the burger.
-
Serve immediately while warm.
-
Notes
-
If the cabbage leaves are too large, you can cut them to fit your patties.
-
For extra crunch, you can lightly sauté the cabbage leaves in a skillet before baking.
-
You can also make these burgers with turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
-
Experiment with different toppings to customize your cabbage burger to your taste.
