Veal & Mushroom Burgers with Balsamic Onions
This post is made in participation with Veal Made Easy funded by Beef Farmers and Ranchers.
Had enough of your standard burger? Try something new with veal! These veal and mushroom burgers with balsamic onions will wow in a way that you won’t expect, bringing the perfect combination of juiciness, tanginess, and deliciousness right to your dinner table.
Serves four
What You’ll Need:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 onions (about 5 ounces each), cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt, divided
8 ounces mixed mushrooms, trimmed and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 pound ground veal
4 egg twist rolls, split
4 leaves Boston lettuce
4 slices provolone cheese
What To Do:
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion slices and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and almost tender, 7–8 minutes. Stir in vinegar and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until fully tender, 3–5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook 2 minutes, tossing frequently. Mix in garlic, thyme, and lemon zest. Cook until mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes more. Remove from pan and set aside to cool.
Place veal, mushroom mixture, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Mix until just combined, then divide into quarters and shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
Set up a charcoal or gas grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Place rolls, cut-side down, on the grill and lightly toast. Remove and set aside.
Add patties to grill and cook, flipping once, until they reach an internal temperature of 160 F, 10 to 14 minutes. Arrange roll bottoms on a serving platter. Top each with a lettuce leaf, followed by patties, cheese, onions, and roll tops to create the finished burgers.

Chia Seed Pudding with Maple Granola Recipe
Emerald here again, coming to you from my Brooklyn kitchen. I hope that everyone is doing well and staying healthy!
Today, we’re going to be making a really easy yogurt chia seed pudding with maple granola. You can use any kind of yogurt, milk, and sweetener you have on hand—it’s really flexible, though I personally love cashew yogurt, oat milk, and maple syrup. Whip it up the night before and you’ll have a great breakfast ready for you in the morning.
Yogurt Chia Seed Pudding with Maple Granola
Serves 2-3
What You’ll Need:
For the yogurt chia seed pudding:
1 cup yogurt (any kind)
½ cup milk (any kind)
4 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup (can substitute honey or agave)
Pinch of salt
For the maple granola:
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1½ cups chopped nuts or seeds (i.e. almonds, pistachios, pecans, pepitas)
1 cup coconut chips
½ cup maple syrup (can substitute honey or agave)
¼ cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins)
Optional: chocolate pieces, cacao nibs, sesame seeds
What To Do:
To make the chia pudding: In a medium bowl or large jar with lid, stir yogurt, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and salt until evenly combined and there are no more clumps. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Let chill for at least a few hours or overnight—seeds will become hydrated and thicken the mixture.
To make the maple granola: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Toss oats, nuts, coconut chips, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Spread out mixture on a lined baking sheet. Bake in oven 40–45 minutes until golden brown and dry, stirring 2-3 times during baking. Once done, let cool on baking sheet; granola will crisp further as it cools. Mix in dried fruit (and any other additions if using).
Tips: Double or triple the recipe for breakfast all week long. Granola can be kept for 2 weeks stored in an airtight container.
