HOMEMADE VEGGIE BURGERS
Everybody loves burgers.
The more popular ones are chicken burgers or fish burgers and for meat lovers , you have the hamburgers.
For the vegetarians, choice of burgers outside is limited to a potato patty sandwiched between two halves of a burger bun with some mayo or any other sauce to flavor it!!
(Nowadays of course you may get a larger choice with many people being vegan and/or vegetarian)!
Most often, whenever I have plenty of time, I prepare potato patties(with lots of vegetables) like spicy potato tikkis/cutlets or aloo tikkis, served with ketchup or green coriander chutney, for an evening snack to enjoy with my tea.
If I have burger buns lying in my pantry, I prepare extra tikkis/cutlets and enjoy these as a burger filling to make vegetarian burgers for dinner!!
Today, I had two packets of mushrooms lying in my refrigerator, so I decided to make my mushroom stir fry which I often make for my family, as a filling for my burgers.
I make it a point to make lots of it as my two boys (and hubby) love to eat the leftover stir fry on the side!!
HOW TO MAKE THESE DELICIOUS MUSHROOM BURGERS
Making the burgers involves only 4 steps;
- Making the coleslaw; a mayo based cabbage and carrot salad (recipe here)
- Preparing the mushroom stir fry
- Prepping the other fillings (sauces, tomato, lettuce and onions)
- Assembling the burgers.
If the coleslaw is ready, mushroom veggie burgers can be ready in 10 to 15 minutes.
(Coleslaw takes only 10 minutes to make and needs about ½ an hour to chill and develop the flavors in the refrigerator or if you are short on time, you can eat it right away),
Do check out the coleslaw recipe here.
Toppings for the burgers can range from cucumber slices, ketchup, jalapeno slices, mustard sauce, olives, grated carrots etc.
My family loves the McDonald's type sauce in their burgers with mayo, sriracha or any hot sauce (even spicy ketchup) and maybe a dash of vinegar.
(Recipe for the McDonald's sauce:
Just mix or whisk some mayonnaise (with or without eggs, vegan etc.), a dash of hot sauce (I love using spicy tomato ketchup, any bottled hot sauce like Schezwan sauce/chutney or even a dash of Sriracha sauce) and some vinegar or brine from a dill pickle jar.
Adjust the amounts to suit your taste of the sauce.
Chill and enjoy in any burger).
Serve this juicy burger with a side of chips or French fries and a glass of your favorite drink!
Your family is going to love you even more once you start making this.
Happy Cooking/Eating!
