Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep and cook the green beans

Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed.

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the beans and transfer to the ice water to cool; drain and pat the beans dry. While the water is heating and the beans are cooking, prepare the patties.

Prep and cook the patties

Cut a small corner from your protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
Using wet hands, form your protein into two [four] ½-inch-thick patties. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked to the desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side for plant-based Impossible Burger or beef and until cooked through for turkey, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan. While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings and finish the lemony green beans.

Prep the toppings; assemble the lemony green beans

Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices. Season lightly with salt. Set aside for serving.
Trim the root ends and any coarse stems from the watercress; coarsely chop the watercress. Set aside for serving.
Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate.

In a medium bowl, stir together the lemon-tahini dressing base and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the green beans, 2 teaspoons [1 TBL] lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Toast the ciabatta; assemble the burgers

Cut the ciabatta in half horizontally.

In the same pan used for the burgers, place the ciabatta, cut sides down, and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer, cut sides up, to a work surface.

Spread the ciabatta tops with the cashew-beet spread. Top each ciabatta bottom with a burger, avocado, and watercress. Close with the ciabatta tops.

Transfer the burgers and lemony green beans to individual plates and serve.
