Equipment
- Food processor or blender
- Non-stick fry pan
Ingredients
Secret Sauce
- 2.5 tbsp firm tofu
- 2 tsp mustard grain
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sweet Relish
- 1 tsp sweetener of choice
Burger Patties
- 60 g about 3 Brown Mushrooms
- 38 g just less than 1/2 cup Textured Vegetable Protein
- 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1/8 onion
- 1 tbsp Steak Seasoning Spice Mix
- 15 g Vital Wheat Gluten
- 1 tbsp Almond Butter
- Up to 1/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp Veg Stock Powder
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
To assemble
- 1.5 Whole Wheat Burger Buns that’ll make a lot more sense when we do it
- 1/2 cup Lettuce shredded
- 3 Pickle Slices
- 1/8 onion diced
- Optional: 1 slice plant-based Cheddar Cheese
- Optional: Air Fryer Fries
Instructions
Make Patties
- Add all burger patty ingredients together and allow to sit and absorb. After 10 minutes, adjust moisture by adding more wheat gluten or water. It should be a firm, moldable consistency.
- Form two patties and chill in fridge for 15 mins.
Make Sauce
- Place all ingredients in food processor. Blitz and scrape down sides until smooth sauce forms.
Assemble
- Dry fry burger in nonstick pan over medium-low heat for 6-8 mins on each side until toasted and caramelized. Remove and toast two bottom sections and one top of a burger bun.
- Construct burger by laying half of the sauce on each of the bottom buns, adding lettuce, onion and pickles and topping with burger patty. Add cheese to one section, if using, then stack and adorn with top bun. Shut up and eat.
