The best vegan mixed mushroom & walnuts burger

Next time you hear someone saying “I HAVE to eat meat”, serve them these burgers. They are not mimicking meat flavor. But, they are so tasty and satisfying that every meat eater will forger real burgers for at least one meal.

Why is this burger the best mushroom burger? Because it is packed with different flavors and contains nuts which are a perfect counterbalance to juicy mushrooms. It also allows you to experiment if you like. Instead of spring onions, feel free to use leek. Instead of walnuts, you can put sunflower seeds, cashews, or even hazelnuts. The mushroom type is also up to you; this recipe suggests a mixture of portobello and dried penny buns, but if you prefer different kinds, make sure to let me know how it worked out for you!

There are many vegan and mixed mushroom burger recipes out there. Not only on the internet. If you go to a vegan or vegetarian restaurant, chances are there are mushroom-based patties on the menu. But, this recipe does stand out. The reason is soy sauce and tahini, which make for a perfect glue for the rest of the ingredients and add the specific, unforgettable flavor and texture. My sister, who first dubbed this recipe as “hippie”, asked when do I plan to make these again for her?!

Not to forget – as this is a burger, you can serve it with the obvious oven-baked potatoes. Other great sides would be the refreshing Tabbouleh salad and zucchini spaghetti with almonds. Bon appetite!
