Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lb closed cup white mushrooms
2 cups beetroot juice
1 oz dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in 150ml (1/2 cups) hot water - then chopped
1 cup walnuts, ground
1 brown onion
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
4 teaspoons bread crumbs
4 slices vegan cheese
1 burger bun, toastedd
lettuce
tomato, sliced
red onion, sliced
american mustard
vegan mayonnaise
ketchup

Steps:

  • Add the porcini mushrooms to a bowl and cover with 150ml of hot water. Leave to sit for 30 minutes. (As you do this your kitchen will smell of so much goodness!)
  • Blitz the mushrooms & onions in the food processor until finely chopped. (you will need to do this in a few stages as there's so many mushrooms!) Place into a large bowl.
  • Once you have soaked the porcini mushroom, drain and reserve the water. Roughly chop the mushrooms and add to your blitzed mushrooms.
  • Add the reserved porcini mushroom water and beetroot juice to the bowl. Stir to combine and leave to soak for 15 minutes.
  • Next, drain the mushroom mix through and sieve and discard the juices.
  • Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 2 tbsp of oil. Add the mushroom mix, walnuts, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Cook for 20-30 minutes continuously stirring. (Your aim here is to cook out the water from the mushrooms and dry everything out, be patient I promise it's worth it!)
  • Reduce the heat and add the breadcrumbs. Stir and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and pour out into a bowl. Leave to cool for 10 minutes or until it's cool enough to handle.
  • Divide into 4 and form into patties.
  • Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Add your patties and cook for 3-4 minutes aside or until brown.
  • In the remaining 1 minutes add a slice of cheese to each burger pattie and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese.
  • Build your burgers with all your favourite toppings.
  • Enjoy!

VEGAN CHEESEBURGERS



Vegan Cheeseburgers image

The new generation of vegan meat alternatives, such as Impossible and Beyond, are at their best when still medium-rare and juicy. Flipping the patties frequently as they cook ensures an evenly cooked interior and good flavor development on the exterior. To make the burgers vegetarian, feel free to use any good melting cheese, such as American, Cheddar or Swiss, but to make them strictly vegan, be sure to look for vegan burger buns, as standard supermarket burger buns frequently contain milk or other dairy products.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, burgers, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 cheeseburgers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound vegan ground meat, such as Impossible or Beyond
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 slices vegan cheese, such as Cheddar-style
4 vegan hamburger buns, lightly toasted
Toppings and condiments, to taste

Steps:

  • Divide vegan ground meat into 4 equal pieces. Pick up one piece, transfer to a cutting board, and use your hands to press and shape it into a patty about 1/4-inch wider than your bun. Repeat to form remaining patties. Put three fingers of one hand together, and press a shallow indentation into the center of each patty. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add patties and cook, flipping frequently, until well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the coolest part of the center of the patty registers 120 to 125 degrees for medium-rare, or 130 to 135 degrees for medium. Immediately add cheese slices to the top of the patties, and transfer them to a large plate.
  • Dress bottom buns as desired. Place a patty on top, and dress top bun as desired. Close cheeseburgers and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a firm tofu. This will help the burgers hold their shape better.
  • Press the tofu before using. This will help remove excess moisture and make the burgers more dense.
  • Add plenty of flavor to the tofu. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a flavorful burger.
  • Don't overcook the burgers. They should be cooked until they are just heated through, otherwise they will become dry and crumbly.
