Who does not love a burger? A burger loaded with crispy patty, sauces, crunchy vegetables and with a side of fries/chips/ wedges is a perfect meal!
These days the shops are inundated with loads of vegetarian options for burgers. Quinoa, kale, falafel, black bean, or just soya protein to mimic the meat texture. Vegetarians are definitely spoilt for choice with the variety! Saying that the old school vegetable burger wins hands down in front of all the new flavour combinations. There are lots of adjectives attached to a burger and I do not agree to all. Fast food-yes, unhealthy- not the homecooked one, fattening- not the homecooked one, moreish – definitely, treat- oh! Yes! Life is too short to be weighing and rationing each portion of food. We need to indulge ourselves from time to time and this recipe is perfect for healthy indulgence any day of the week.
Vegetable burger was always on the menu for my birthday parties and a hot favourite at lunch time in my school days. My love for burgers has passed on to my son and he loves a vegetable burger. I am quite a stickler for healthy home cooked food and even though I indulge my children in eating out, I am always looking for ways to make the same food at home (with no preservatives and additives).
I have tried and experimented with lots of recipes while making this burger patty for the same shop bought flavours. In this recipe you will absolutely love the crispy flavourful moist vegetables patties sandwiched between soft toasted buns with vibrant freshness from crunchy vegetables like onion, tomato and lettuce, a delicious mayonnaise sauce and melting cheese to make perfect vegetarian burger.
Even though it takes some time to make homemade vegetable patties, they taste so much better than the store-bought ones, so it is totally worth, and you can make a big batch and freeze them too. Feel free to customize the assembly of the burger to your choice of toppings.
