Easy vegan burgers made with mushrooms and spices, then baked or fried.
- 500 g Mushrooms (diced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules (or sub 2 cloves finely diced)
- 1 teaspoon onion granules (or sub 1/2 small onion finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
- 1/2 teaspoon Red chilli flakes (optional - if you like it spicy)
- splash of Oil of choice for cooking
- 3-4 tablespoons Oat flour (or sub whole oats, or flour)
- pinch of Salt if required
-
Put the mushrooms in a non-stick pan and cook until starting to brown (if you have a pan which needs oil, add a bit of oil first, and cook the mushrooms in the oil).
-
Add in the garlic and onion granules and stir through (if using fresh, allow to cook through).
-
If using nutritional yeast, add this, followed by the black pepper and herbs (& chilli & salt if using). Mix in well and allow to cook for a couple of minutes, then do a taste test and adjust seasonings if required.
-
Check for liquid content - the mushrooms will release water as they are cooking, and you need the mixture to be free from excess moisture. Add your oat flour a bit at a time and mix in. The mixture should start to come together into a ball. Turn the heat off. Allow to cool slightly.
-
Divide the mixture into 4 and using your hands, shape into rough patty shapes. Either, place on a baking tray and bake on a medium heat, lightly fry in a shallow pan, or put in an air fryer for 5 minutes until the edges have browned.
-
Enjoy.
