VEGAN CHEESEBURGER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the porcini mushrooms to a bowl and cover with 150ml of hot water. Leave to sit for 30 minutes. (As you do this your kitchen will smell of so much goodness!)
• Blitz the mushrooms & onions in the food processor until finely chopped. (you will need to do this in a few stages as there's so many mushrooms!) Place into a large bowl.
• Once you have soaked the porcini mushroom, drain and reserve the water. Roughly chop the mushrooms and add to your blitzed mushrooms.
• Add the reserved porcini mushroom water and beetroot juice to the bowl. Stir to combine and leave to soak for 15 minutes.
• Next, drain the mushroom mix through and sieve and discard the juices.
• Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 2 tbsp of oil. Add the mushroom mix, walnuts, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Cook for 20-30 minutes continuously stirring. (Your aim here is to cook out the water from the mushrooms and dry everything out, be patient I promise it's worth it!)
• Reduce the heat and add the breadcrumbs. Stir and cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and pour out into a bowl. Leave to cool for 10 minutes or until it's cool enough to handle.
• Divide into 4 and form into patties.
• Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Add your patties and cook for 3-4 minutes aside or until brown.
• In the remaining 1 minutes add a slice of cheese to each burger pattie and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese.
• Build your burgers with all your favourite toppings.
• Enjoy!

THE BEST VEGGIE BURGER (BETTER THAN STORE-BOUGHT)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil, parchment paper or silicon baking mats.
• Using a damp paper towel, brush all dirt from mushrooms. Cut away and discard any hard stems. Roughly chop the mushrooms, carrot, broccoli and onion into 1/2-inch chunks. Toss vegetables into the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. Close the lid and pulse 10 to 20 times until coarsely ground.
• Spread the ground vegetables onto one of the lined baking sheets. Pat them down with a spatula until a very thin layer of vegetables covers the majority of the baking sheet. Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes. (If the veggies around the outer edges start to turn dark brown, stir and press them back down into a thin layer).
• Meanwhile, spread the drained black beans onto the second baking sheet in one layer. When the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, stir them and press into a thin layer once more. Transfer both baking sheets (vegetables and the black beans) to the oven. Roast until the beans begin to split and look dry and the vegetables look drier and toasted, about 15 minutes. Let everything cool.
• While the beans and vegetables roast, rinse the food processor bowl and pat dry.
• Place the walnuts, spinach and fresh herbs in it. Pulse until they are about the size of breadcrumbs.
• Add cooled beans and pulse 5 to 10 times until the beans look crumbly with large crumbs.
• Add the roasted vegetables, panko breadcrumbs, eggs and the tomato paste. Pulse until everything is just combined. You want to keep some texture, don't pulse until a smooth mixture.
• Scrape the mixture into a bowl and fold in the rice.
• Refrigerate the veggie burger mix up to 24 hours. Or make patties, cook them and freeze wrapped in foil up to 3 months.
• When you are ready to make the burgers, divide into 8 equal portions (about 3 1/4 ounces or 90 grams each). Form each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, add oil, and then place patties in one layer. (We use about 1 tablespoon of oil to cook 4 burgers). Cook until heated through, firm and browned on both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes on each side. If any bits fall from the sides as you flip, press them back into the sides of the patty. Be careful when flipping so they stay together.
• For an outdoor grill, we recommend placing a cast iron pan or griddle over a low fire to cook the burgers.
• To reheat frozen cooked burgers: Bake in a 350 degree F oven until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Or reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes on each side. We do not recommend microwaving the patties (they steam and become floppy).
