Delicious Meat-free Burgers

Burgers. WHO doesn't love burgers? 😍

I have changed my moms Gigantic Burger recipe into a vegetarian/vegan delight that will satisfy ANYONE! This was one of my favourite recipes growing up, so you can be assured that it is amazing! 😍🤩

Patty Ingredients (Makes 2) :

• 400g Soya Mince
• 1 Egg (or Flax Egg* for a vegan option)
• 1 Tbsp Bread crumbs
• Pinch of Salt and Pepper
• Oil for "cooking" patties

Serving Ingredients :

• Bread Buns
• Mayonnaise
• Tomato
• Lettuce
• Red onion
• Vegan Cheese
• Avo
• Carrots
• Any other toppings you love on burgers!!!

Tools :

• Pot - for cooking the soya if you use dried soya
• Pan for "cooking" the patties
• Cutting board
• Sharp knife

Firstly let’s talk about the soya you decide to use. There are SO many options available!

I recommend buying dried soya mince that has some “gravy” (a “cheaper” one I bought had TOO much gravy though, so in this case I actually sifted some off before cooking it). They were so deliciously moist!

Recently I saw dry mince that only needs soaking, but has no gravy. Remember you might need less bread crumbs :)

Don’t stress if you use frozen Soya mince either, just remember it will use less bread crumbs :)

Mix the soya mince and egg/flax egg (*Flax Egg are simply 1 Tbsp Flaxseed Powder mixed with 3 Tbsp water. Let it stand for 10 minutes to thicken up 😊). Gauge whether the mixture needs bread crumbs (if you're using the soya mince without gravy it might be fine as is), it should be a "drier" consistency so that you can form patties that hold their shape :)

"Cook" your vegetarian patties in a frying pan over low heat. I love using coconut oil for shallow frying as it gives the patties a delicious, crunchy outside 🤤

While you are slowly frying your patties, slice your veggies! Use whatever your heart desires on top of your burger! This step is up to you! 😎

Cut your bun, slap on the mayo, and construct your burger! Now, the real question is, does the cheese go under or on top of the patty? I did both! Just to be safe 😛
