Homemade Mushroom Burgers for dinner tonight

14 Replies

As Blue Peter would have said in one of their programmes 'here's one I made earlier', in my case 'here's 4 I made earlier'. :)

I am looking forward to trying one of my burgers tonight.

Hope you all enjoy your meal tonight.

Hi again Alicia,

How did they taste, and how did you make them? They look really good. :-)

Hi Zest

They tasted nice but need more flavouring, I think I'll introduce some herbs to the next batch but the basic recipe is below:

Mushroom & chickpea burgers

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

250g chestnut mushroom, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 bunch of spring onions

1 tbsp medium curry powder

Zest and juice of half a lemon

400g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

85g fresh wholemeal breadcrumb

6 tbsp 0% Greek yogurt pinch ground cumin

2 mixed-grain muffins or rolls, toasted and halved

2 plum tomatoes, sliced

handful rocket

Method 1. Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the mushroom, garlic and spring onion for 5 mins. Mix in the curry powder, lemon zest and juice and cook for 2 mins or until mixture looks quite dry. Tip out onto a plate to cool slightly.

2. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the chickpeas in a bowl, leaving a few chunky pieces. Add the mushroom mix and the crumbs, then shape into 4 patties. Fry in the remaining oil for 3-4 mins on each side until crisp and browned.

3. Mix the yogurt with the cumin. Place half a muffin on each plate, then spread with the yogurt. Top with the burgers, a few slices of tomato and a little rocket.

I stopped at the Greek Yogurt as I didn't make the sauce and I used Portobello Mushrooms as I had bought those for another recipe but if I had used the Chestnut Mushrooms they would have tasted better as they have more flavour.

I'm learning as I go along with these recipes. A one pot meal tomorrow of curry which uses a whole cauliflower. ;)

Thanks so much Alicia, I shall copy and paste that recipe into my folder for delicious recipes. I hope to try it out sometime soon, and I will definitely use Chestnut mushrooms, as I agree they are more flavourful. :-)

Zest :-)

p.s. Hope your One pot meal of Curry made with a whole cauliflower goes well. Sounds great!

in reply to Zest

You are welcome and definitely use the Chestnut Mushrooms, they taste so much better. :)

I am making the one pot meal tomorrow as have family for dinner tonight so am making a roast, I am having my nut roast of course.

Thank you Mel and I did enjoy them albeit a little more seasoning next time me thinks - out come the herbs. :)

Try adding a few spoons of nutritional yeast. The taste would go really well with mushrooms. I need to try using it in more things after seeing Kitten-whiskers recipes. :) I've also been using liquid aminos as a nutritious flavouring, as well as mushroom ketchup & Henderson's relish (both liquids that can be added as a condiment).

Thank you Mel, where do you buy your nutritional yeast? Very good ideas here for bumping up the flavour and thank you.

Try your local wholefood shop, or look online. I usually get 3 tubs for around £8.50. I use the blue type that contains B12. It's great in soups & stews. :)

Thank you for that Mel, I will look in Holland and Barrett and see what I can get. I'll look for the blue type.
