  • If you prefer a firmer texture, you can try adding chickpeas and reducing the amount of rice and mushrooms.
  • We also recommend cooking them in advance and simply heating on the BBQ if you want to enjoy these as part of a BBQ spread.

Easy Vegan Burger

Serves: 4 burgers Prep Time: 30 minutes, plus extra time for refrigerating Cooking Time: 20 minutes 20 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

For the patties:

  • oil for frying
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 250g / 8.8oz mushrooms
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp bbq sauce, plus extra for glazing
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 50g / 1.7oz walnuts
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup brown rice
  • 40g / 1.4oz panko breadcrumbs
  • handful of fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper

To serve:

  • 4 vegan burger buns
  • 4 vegan cheese slices
  • vegan mayonnaise
  • ketchup
  • 2 handfuls lettuce leaves
  • gherkin slices
  • 50g / 1.7oz red cabbage
  • 1/4 carrot
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • olive oil

Method

  1. Cook the brown rice in just over 1 cup of lightly salted water.
  2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a medium - high heat. Peel and dice the onion, then add to the frying pan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile dice the mushrooms into small pieces, and peel and dice the garlic. Add both to the frying pan and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 10 minutes or until all the water has evaporated and the mushrooms have started to brown.
  4. Add the fried mushroom mixture to a food processor along with the soy sauce, cajun seasoning, BBQ sauce, maple syrup, walnuts, flax seeds, panko breadcrumbs, parsley and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Add the cooked brown rice (this should now measure roughly 1 cup) and add it to the mixture. Pulse the mixture a dozen or so times until the mixture has mostly broken down but has not turned into a puree! Note: to check if the texture is correct, try shaping the mixture into a patty. If there are a few cracks, pulse the mixture a little more to break it down, but be careful not to over process it into a mush.
  5. Line a plate or baking tray with baking paper. Then shape the burger mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties and place on the prepared dish. If you have time to leave the burgers to sit, pop them in the refrigerator until you need to cook them (ideally for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight). This will help the patties hold together and also improve the flavour.
  6. Before cooking the patties, slice the gherkins. Then finely slice the red cabbage and carrot, and add both to a mixing bowl along with the apple cider vinegar and a light drizzle of olive oil. Stir and leave to one side while you fry the burger.
  7. Add a little oil to a frying pan on a low - medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and fry for 5 minutes on each side or until crispy. Brush each side with a little more bbq sauce as you go and add a slice of cheese to the top of the patties.
  8. To build the burger, cut the burger buns in half and spread a generous spoonful of mayo to the bottom half. Add a few lettuce leaves on top, followed by a patty, slices of tomato and gherkin, and finally the coleslaw. 
  9. To make the burger sauce combine a few spoonfuls of ketchup with the same amount of vegan mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth. Spread the burger sauce over the inside of the top half of the burger bun and place the burger bun on top of the burger. Now tuck in!

Approximately how much protein in the burger?

OK, I finally made the burgers.. with all the chopping, measuring, and cooking… it took me 90 minutes from prep to finish. Now I’m exhausted, it’s 10:50 pm. And I am too tired to eat or clean up the mess.

I have to find a partner otherwise I’ll never make it ‍ like this. I hope it tastes great. Also, there’s an error. You’re ingredients call for 1/2 cup of brain rice, but when prompting to add ingredients into the processor you say “add 1 cup of brown rice”. I still love you guys..you’re too damn cute not to!

Hey Barbara! Thanks for the feedback. We try to suggest accurate prep and cook times, but obviously this varies depending on who is cooking (for example, I’m a very slow cook in comparison to Roxy, ha). The method is technically correct, the recipe involves using 1/2 cup of uncooked brown rice which should measure 1 cup when it has cooked, but I appreciate that might not be obvious so we’ve amended it slightly to make it super clear. Thanks so much for the support and hope you enjoy the burgers!
