Ulu Burgers

Instructions

  • Wearing gloves peel ulu, cut into quarters and remove stem. 

  • Roughly chop ulu into chunks, adding to a medium size pot. Cover chunks completely with water, bring to a boil and cook until soft. 

  • Drain and mash ulu like mashed potatoes but leaving some small chunks for substance. Add remaining ingredients and use hands to incorporate everything together. 

  • Divide mash mixture into six portions and shape into patties. Place patties on parchment paper lined tray, oiled sheet pan, or other non-stick surface. Refrigerate until ready to use. 

  • Heat oil in skillet on medium-high heat and brown patties on both sides until crispy. About 3-5 minutes on each side. Serve on burger buns while hot.
