Why are these the perfect vegan burger recipe
Most importantly, it’s a Vegan burger that holds together so you can pan-fry, bake, or grill it. It’s moist but not mushy in any way! And it has fewer beans than most other Vegan burgers.
Just fry them and let them cool completely. Place them between parchment paper, wrap them and they are ready for the freezer! Simple as that!
There is a wide variety of "Vegan" burgers on the market, but most of them are highly processed and high in sodium. Personally, I never buy any ready-made meals.
For this reason, I recommend making them at home. Vegan burgers are one of those simple dishes that once you master the basics the possibilities are endless. In meat burgers, the egg works as a binder. To replace that, just use cooked potato, bread crumbs, oats, or blended tofu. You can bake them or fry them in a pan. Regarding seasoning, there are tons of herbs and spices that you can experiment with.
Protein
Do vegan burgers have protein? Absolutely! Each pattie contains 11 grams of protein.
These Burgers are simple, super easy to make, super flavorful, full of healthy ingredients, and super tasty!!
Seriously, even the meat-eaters can be satisfied with these burgers.
Ingredients
- Onion - Chop the onion before use
- Garlic - 2 cloves garlic chopped
- Mushrooms - You can use any kind of mushrooms you wish
- Beans - I used red beans for this recipe which are high in protein
- Breadcrumbs - Use the ones form the market or make them by yourself
- Sun-dried tomatoes - Drain them very well
- Soya sauce - You can use tamari insted
- Spices - You can use any spices you like. Smoked paprika is a must!
- Agave syrup - or any other sweetener
How to make Vegan Burgers - Step by Step
PATTIES
Step 1: Clean and cut the mushrooms into very small cubes
Step 2: Cut the onions into cubes, heat a pan, and add the oil, salt, and pepper over low heat and saute them until golden. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute.
Step 3: Add the mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until soft. Remove from the heat.
Step 4: Drain the beans and mash them well. Cut the Sun-dried tomatoes into small cubes.
In a bowl add the mashed beans, the tomatoes, the pan mix, the bread crumbs, and the spices. Mix well and form three patties.
Step 5: Reheat the pan and add the oil. Cover the patties with bread crumbs and fry them for 10 minutes total on both sides, until golden. Put a towel paper on a plate and place the patties to remove any excess oil.
In case you want it Gluten-free skip this step and just fry them without covering them with the breadcrumbs. Add some more breadcrumbs in case the texture is too runny. Handle them with care as soon as you remove them from the pan. Let them cool for a few minutes before you make the burger.
BURGERS ASSEMBLY
- Cut the buns in half.
From the bottom to top:
- Spread the tomato sauce or hummus
- Put a leaf of lettuce
- Add the patties
- Add onion slices
- Add tomato slices
- Spread mustard sauce
- Put a leaf of lettuce
- Cover with the top bun
- You can serve the burgers with potatoes or a salad of your preference. To be honest I did not enjoy it with the sweet potatoes. They were too sweet in combination with the burger.!
Top tips
- You can use any other spices you like. But the smoked paprika gives a unique taste to a Vegan burger. Do not replace it with anything else.
- For a gluten-free edition use blended oats instead of breadcrumbs.
Cooking options
I usually pan-fry these Vegan burgers, because I love the golden crust. But don’t worry, they are also excellent baked or grilled! To grill, refrigerate them for at least half an hour. Then grill them for a few minutes on each side.
