Description

This savory, meat-free burger offers a satisfyingly hearty alternative, brimming with plant-based goodness. It's a delightful mosaic of earthy mushrooms, vibrant vegetables, and carefully selected seasonings that create a surprisingly bold flavor profile. Each bite delivers a pleasingly chewy texture, reminiscent of traditional meat burgers, making it a truly satisfying experience.

Crafted for those seeking plant-focused options, this burger seamlessly fits into various dietary preferences. Its naturally gluten- and wheat-free composition broadens its appeal, while its alignment with paleo principles offers even more versatility. The possibilities for serving this veggie burger are as diverse as your imagination.

For a lighter option, nestle it between crisp lettuce leaves, or embrace a more substantial feel with grilled portobello mushroom caps acting as the buns. Of course, any bun of your choice will also work beautifully. When it comes to toppings, let your creativity shine.

Melt some dairy-free cheddar slices for a creamy indulgence, add the sharp bite of sliced onions and juicy tomatoes, or introduce smoky notes with vegan bacon strips. Don't forget your favorite condiments to complete the burger experience. The key to this burger's exceptional binding and texture lies in the use of psyllium husk, a natural ingredient that helps hold everything together perfectly.

Sautéing the mushrooms is crucial for releasing their excess moisture and intensifying their inherent umami flavor, resulting in a richer, more savory patty. Walnuts contribute both flavor and a delightful textural element, but feel free to experiment with other nuts like almonds, cashews, or even sunflower seeds to customize the burger to your liking. This veggie burger is more than just a substitute; it's a celebration of plant-based flavors and textures that stands confidently on its own.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 180C/350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse for 20-30 seconds until fine.
    2.
    Pour the oil into a non-stick pan and place it over medium-high heat. Add the blended mushroom mixture to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
    3.
    Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture to a bowl. Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse until fine. Add the avocado to the food processor and pulse until a paste forms.
    4.
    Transfer the paste to the bowl. Add the tomato paste, soy sauce, mustard, water, psyllium husk, and salt. Mix everything with a fork until incorporated.
    5.
    Divide the burger mixture into 4 balls and place them on the baking sheet. Then flatten them out to form a patty of your desired thickness. Place the baking sheet in the oven.
    6.
    Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. The burger patties should be done when crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let them cool slightly.
    7.
    Wrap them in lettuce leaves or Keto-friendly buns. Add your desired toppings and condiments. Serve immediately.
