Күн бұрын

Professional chef Palak Patel from The Institute of Culinary Education and home cook Lorenzo are swapping recipes and hitting the kitchen to make veggie burgers! We set Lorenzo up with a selection of the finest ingredients from chef Palak’s kitchen, along with her recipe for a $172 meatless burger. Meanwhile over with chef Palak, a relatively modest $14 worth of ingredients were being tweaked and augmented while elevating Lorenzo’s burg to gourmet status. Whose veggie burger are you throwing on the grill?

I saw the ingredients that Lorenzo gave to the chef and thought that was the hardest challenge I'd ever seen. No bean of any kind, no protein, no herb or spice... This chef is AMAZING. It's all about textures and a big burst of concentrated flavor from each simple ingredient. Chef Kiss

No kidding. And, the only reason her burger was so expensive was because of the upfront costs of buying most of those ingredients that one would usually buy once and keep in their pantry.

TBF I don't think they remotely used up most of the ingredients for the $172 burgers, so if they'd had made 30 burgers or whatever it would have come in a lot cheaper per burger. Stuff like TVP and bulgur wheat which make up a large fraction of the burger are pretty cheap.

Interesting that even though Chef Palak had ingredients which were a lot simpler and cost a fraction of the price, her finished burger was a lot taller and seemed to have more stuff in it.

@Empterdose Жыл бұрын

Worth noting that Lorenzo's original ingredient tray only had 4 portobello mushrooms on it and was priced accordingly; but Chef Palak's finished burgers had two mushrooms each, in addition to the mushrooms used to make the mushroom bacon. As far as height goes, I think those double mushrooms are really doing a lot to make the burgers tall.

@terrivel11 Жыл бұрын

A lot of the stuff she had in hers was to add depth, not volume. Each bite is probably packed with tons of flavor, considering all the different powders and things were in it.

@darthplagueis13 Жыл бұрын

Well, that's because the burgers she made had a lot of basically whole components in them (tomato slices, mushroom slices, mushroom bacon) whereas most of the ingredients she gave to lorenzo ended up getting blended or mixed into either a sauce or the patties, making them much denser which also means they had less volume.

To anyone curious about Palak's burger but intimidated by the price, I have no idea why it's so high. Tvp and methyl cellulose really shouldn't cost a lot, I eat it often and let's just I'm not the richest man on earth. In fact, tvp + methyl cellulose and the refined coconut oil for the fat plus really any spice you'd actually put in it would not only be much much cheaper per kilo than both her burger and any plant based burger you can buy, but it's also cheaper than actual meat, like even really low quality ground chicken is more expensive to buy than this, at least where I live (It's also much higher in protein compared to meat for those curious, just be sure to season it 🥴)
