Directions: |
Directions:Clean the portobello, king oyster and white button mushrooms; stem the white button mushrooms. Finely chop them, or grind them in a food processor, to about the same consistency as the meat. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; add the ground beef, onion, tomato, cilantro, ginger, garlic, red chili pepper, turmeric, onion powder, tomato powder, if using, ground coriander, chili powder and lemon grass powder, if using.
Use your clean hands to gently blend the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and no more than 4 hours.
Spray a grill pan with cooking oil spray; heat over medium heat.
Meanwhile, shape the mixture into 8 thick patties of equal size. Lightly salt both sides of each patty; place on a plate or paper towels to catch any juices.
Working in batches as needed, arrange the patties in the hot grill pan, leaving at least an inch of space around each one. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until a good crust forms on the bottom, then use two spatulas to carefully turn each one over. Cook on the second side for about 8 minutes or until firm to the touch and cooked through. The burgers should not be pink inside. |

Notes: A mix of mushrooms, vegetables and spices brings lots of moisture and flavor to these meaty-tasting burgers -- a signature dish at Graffiti in New York. The mixture can be shaped into 24 thick, slider-size patties instead, or grilled over a moderate, direct-heat fire. Make Ahead: It's best not to let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for more than the recommended 4 hours, as its mushroom content will exude liquid. The uncooked patties can be frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost on a plate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, then drain before cooking. Tomato powder and dried lemon grass are available at Asian markets.
