This vegan burger recipe contains cult vegan product - Beyond Meat. With 20g of vegan protein in each patty, and a magic ingredient (beetroot!) which turns from pink to brown when heated you would be forgiven for thinking these were actually beef!

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Toss frozen fries in 1 tsp smoked paprika and garlic powder, then cook in oven according to pack instructions.

Step 2

Slice the red onion as thin as you can (this helps to make the onions nice and sticky!). Warm a large glug of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a low heat and slowly sweat the red onion for about 12 minutes, until soft and transluscent.

Step 3

Meanwhile slice the tomato widthways (equator style) and separate the lettuce leaves. Prepare the smokey mayo by mixing together the vegan mayonnaise and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Set everything aside for later.

Step 4

Now return to your onions and add the balsamic vinegar and sugar, stirring continuously, and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until everything is nice and sticky.

Step 5

At the same time, heat a splash oil in a separate frying pan and cook the burger patties until they’re brown and crisp, about 4 minutes each side. Try not to handle them too much as they are quite delicate.

Step 6

Whilst the onions and burger patties are cooking, heat the burger buns in your toaster. Spread the bottom bun with the ketchup and the top bun with smokey mayo.

Step 7

Once everything is ready, fill the burgers in the following order; bottom bun, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, burger patty, caramelised onions, smokey mayo, top bun. Serve with the fries.
