This has got to be one of my favorite recipes so far! I really loved it. I think it was the smoked paprika that really took me to the edge. What a flavor! This dish is delightful in so many ways.

First - look at the list of spices. It's a long list but mixing all these exotic flavors together blends into a perfect spice combination. Everything is subtle enough to meld the flavors together but still bold enough to really make your tastebuds say "whaaaaaaaaat?" Oh yeah! This is the way to serve veggie burgers!

How we make it

Combine all of the dry rub ingredients except the veggie
burgers and olive oil in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.

Rub the burgers with olive oil and sprinkle with the dry rub.
Brown on each side in a cast-iron skillet, grill or sauté pan.


Heat the olive oil for the sofrito in a sauté pan and sauté the
peppers, onion, and garlic for 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, parsley and paprika. Season with salt and
pepper and continue to cook for 10 minutes.


Serve the burgers with sliced avocado and top with sofrito.
