If you cook them before they have had a chance to chill they won’t hold their shape as well, but they will still taste amazing.
To cook the burgers, heat your grill to a high temperature. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side.
While this is happening, heat your burger buns so they are nice and toasted. Then let everyone assemble their own burgers, and listen to the happy chomping around you!
Vegan burger…
Vegan burgers are where portobello mushrooms shine! They are the meaty heart of most veggie alternatives. They don’t freeze that well, so try to use them up quickly. This is basically a marinaded mushroom, but your vegan teenager will appreciate the effort!
Makes 4
- 4 portobello mushrooms
- 60ml balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp mixed herbs
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegan cheese – they make slices of coconut cheese which is somewhat similar to burger cheese…
Method
Remove the stem of the mushroom, and place the caps into a shallow bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, oil, herbs, garlic and salt and pepper. Pour this over the mushrooms and leave to marinade for 10-15 minutes. Remember to turn so that they have all over flavour.
To cook, fire up your grill to medium to high heat. Brush it with oil, and place the mushrooms on top, saving the marinade to baste them with. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes on each side. Top with the vegan cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling. Serve to your very happy vegan child or the single vegetarian at a summer BBQ!
