Epic Veg Burger


We wanted a burger that was packed with veg...but still felt a bit naughty. So here's our take on the classic burger...super indulgent and delicious.

Takes 15 minutes

Serves 3

Ingredients
 

  • 400 g kidney beans
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 150 g Oyster mushroom any kind of mushrooms will work!
  • 4 tbsp Tamari
  • 100 g breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast

Serving suggestions

  • Favourite buns
  • Vegan Mayonnaise
  • Spicy Pepper Pesto
  • Ketchup
  • Lettuce Leaves
  • Tomatoes
  • Vegan Cheese
  • Lettuce shredded, for extra naughtiness!
  • Tomato
  • Caramelised Onion
  • Gherkins
  • Avocado slices

Instructions
 

  • Drain and rinse the beans. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Roughly chop the mushrooms.
  • Put 3 tablespoons of water into a frying pan on a high heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and cook for 1-2 minute, stirring regularly. Add the mushrooms into the pan and cook for a further minute. Now add the tamari, and stir fry for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. 
  • In a mixing bowl, add the breadcrumbs, beans and the nutritional yeast and mix well.
  • When the mushrooms are done, add them into the bowl and mix. Leave to cool for a minute. Using your hands or a wooden spoon mash and mix so that well mixed. Form this mixture into patties, making sure to really compress them so as to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • The patties are now ready to cook. You can either fry them in the pan for 2 minutes on each side till they go golden or grill them in the oven at  180C/F/gas mark and they are also great grilled on the barbecue!
  • Serve in your favourite bun bun with whatever tickles your fancy! We went a bit of everything...pesto, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, gherkins and for real indulgence...caramelised onions. ENJOY, this one is epic!!
