Ultimate vegan 'beef' burger

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
Forget dry vegetable patties! This 'meat' patty is a miracle of modern vegan gastronomy, deceivingly similar to the original in texture, juiciness, and taste. The secret lies in the seasoning and the right frying technique: smoked paprika and Worcestershire sauce (make sure it's vegan!) give that certain 'meaty' character.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowl
  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Spatula

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Mustard
⚠️ Soya (depending on Worcestershire sauce/meat)

Instructions

1 ✓

Very finely chop (or grate) the onion and garlic. Slice the tomato.

Tip: If onion pieces are too big, the patty breaks easily.
2 ✓

In a bowl, knead together the plant 'meat', onion, garlic, sauce, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Form 4 flat patties.

Tip: Press the centres slightly with your finger so they don't dome up when frying.
3 ✓

Heat oil in a frying pan. Fry patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until they get a dark brown crust.

Tip: Crust formation (Maillard reaction) gives flavour. Don't keep turning, let it fry!
4 ✓

After flipping, place cheese on them and cover the pan for 1 minute to melt.

Tip: The steam helps melt the cheese.
5 ✓

Toast the cut sides of the buns. Spread with mayonnaise, then layer: lettuce, patty with cheese, tomato, bun top.

Tip: Lettuce should go at the bottom to protect the bun from the patty's juices (preventing sogginess).

Recipe FAQ

The patty is falling apart, what's wrong?
Plant-based minces sometimes contain less binder. Knead thoroughly so proteins adhere, or refrigerate for 15 minutes after shaping.
What can I replace the 'mince' with?
If you don't want a shop-bought substitute, use cooked lentils, mushrooms, and oats chopped up.
