Celiac.com 10/03/2019 - Fresh for fall, here are ten of America's top gluten-free veggie burger brands. Remember, not all brands label their veggie burgers as gluten-free, and brands not labeled gluten-free may be made on equipment that processes wheat, rye or barley. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. These brands go the extra mile to make sure their veggie burgers are labeled "Gluten-Free." That means that you can confidently serve them to people with celiac disease. Did we miss a favorite of yours? Let us know in the comment section below.

Celiac.com 09/04/2020 - We all love burgers, but sometimes we want the burger experience without all the carbs. That’s why these Hemingway-style burger bites are perfect for a relaxed summer afternoon! For anyone who thought pan-fried hamburgers could never be exciting, the great Ernest Hemingway shows us how it's done. We make a small deviation from his original by keeping the patties small, but still thick. Serve them skewered with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle for a perfect summertime burger treat. Don't forget to pour yourself a nice drink for the occasion. Hemingway's Ingredients: 1 lb. ground lean beef 2 cloves, minced garlic 2 little green onions, finely chopped parsley [sic] 1 heaping teaspoon, India relish 2 tablespoons, capers 1 heaping teaspoon, Spice Islands Sage [sic] ½ teaspoon Spice Islands Beau Monde Seasoning ½ teaspoon Spice Islands Mei Yen Pepper** salt and pepper 1 egg, beaten in a cup with a fork About ⅓ cup dry red or white wine 1 tablespoon cooking oil Directions: Break up the meat with a fork and scatter the garlic, onion and dry seasonings over it, then mix them into the meat with a fork or your fingers. Let the bowl of meat sit out of the icebox for ten or fifteen minutes while you set the table and make the salad. Add the relish, capers, everything else including wine and let the meat sit, quietly marinating, for another ten minutes if possible. Now make four fat, juicy patties with your hands. [Here, we make eight patties, still thick] The patties should be an inch thick, and soft in texture but not runny. Have the oil in your frying pan hot but not smoking when you drop the patties and then turn the heat down and fry the burgers about four minutes. Take the pan off the burner and turn the heat high again. Flip the burgers over, put the pan back on the hot fire, then after one minute, turn the heat down again and cook another three minutes. Both sides of the burgers should be crispy brown and the middle pink and juicy. Serve patties skewered with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle for a perfect summertime burger treat. Don't forget to pour yourself a nice drink for the occasion. NOTES: **Mei Yen Pepper is basically 4 parts salt, 4 parts sugar, and 1 part MSG. Bel Monde Spice seasoning is just Salt, Sugar, Onion Powder, and Celery Seed. Read the original How to Make a Burger Like Hemingway at Esquire.com

10/02/2019 - The Impossible Burger is a gluten-free veggie burger made from potato and soy protein. What sets the Impossible Burger from other veggie burgers is that it is made from a plant version of heme, a shorter name for leghemoglobin. Heme is an iron-containing molecule found in blood, and it's part of what makes meat taste meaty. However, the plant-based heme that helps give the Impossible Burger patty its beefy taste comes from the roots of a soy plant, instead of animal blood. According to many reviewers, when cooked, the Impossible Burger can deliver what meat-lovers are looking for in a vegetarian burger patty -- the big beef flavor, the slightly pink center, the charred outer crust, and the juiciness. The Impossible Burger patty is crafted from potato and soy protein, methylcellulose as a binder, flavoring from plant based leghemoglobin, and fat from sunflower and coconut oils to help the patty sizzle on the grill, and deliver the charred crust. The great news for people with celiac disease is that the Impossible Burger is certified gluten-free. FDA-approved, and free of artificial and other questionable ingredients. Coconut, soy, or sunflower, are the only allergens. Learn more at ImpossibleFoods.com

Amy's recently came out with their "Sonoma" Veggie Burger, which is not only gluten free, but soy and dairy free as well. The Sonoma veggie burger is packed with organic whole ingredients so there was a level of comfort knowing exactly what I would be putting into my body. I am not a vegetarian, but I am trying to eat more health consciously, so I thought I would give them a try. I wanted to toss them on the grill, but the weather was not cooperating, so I just popped them in the oven for about 5 minutes each side and "ta-da," they were done. The Sonoma Veggie Burger was well-seasoned and had a nice nutty quality that is usually found in veggie/grain-based patties. The outside of the patty was firm and slightly crisp, with a semi-soft interior. I piled on the fixings and was about to dig in when the smell had lured my two non-celiac, meat-eating children into the kitchen (despite the fact that they had just eaten). I gave them each a bite and both girls said it was good. My youngest actually requested that I make Amy's veggie burgers next time it's burger night – no lie!
