Vegan burger made with grated sweet potato and chestnut mushrooms...🥗

Hi everyone as theres been vegan burgers in the press I thought that I'd make some, they're more like a patty being made with grated sweet potato but who cares. LOL.

The burger I made with sliced chestnut mushrooms, onion, yellow sweet pepper, which I gently cooked in olive oil with grated coconut butter then and then added grated sweet potato chia seeds sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds with cumin, coriander, turmeric and ginger. Then I added some water with plain gf flour and mixed thoroughly.

I use Chia seeds a lot as they are really good at helping to thicken and bind foods as they absorb 10x their volume of water, they are also great at thickening stewed fruit like apple and rhubarb. Plus they are super healthy and pack a great nutritional punch...

I had one with a salad and roast potatoes as I baked the burgers...😊

Looks lovely Jerry. This has inspired me to have burgers tonight. I love using chia seeds and sesame seeds so will put those in too. Also, as a side note...ground flax seeds are really good as a thickening agent. I made a vegetable chilli last night and it had too much liquid so I stirred in some ground flax and straight away the sauce was thicker. Off I go to make my burgers.......

Thank you Agoodenough, And ground flax seeds as a thickener is a great idea and makes it even healthier, so your veggie chilli sounds lovely and enjoy your burgers... 😊
