I wanted to make something like the vegetable grills, burgers and fingers you can buy frozen in supermarkets but without the coating, which is my least favourite bit. This recipe makes about 6-8 burgers depending on how big you make them. Warning! They do fall apart quite easily – and that’s because there’s no chemical weird stuff holding them together, just love.
- Couple of small potatoes or 1 big one
- Vegan butter equivalent (or whatever you usually mash your potatoes with will do)
- 1 carrot
- Green beans (I mean small ones like these)
- Handful of mushrooms
- 1 onion
- Almond flakes or other nuts of choice, chopped
- Very small amount of marmite (optional)
- Oil for coating / frying
- Boil potatoes ready for mashing
- Meanwhile chop green beans into small bits, cook and set aside
- Grate carrot
- Fry onion and mushroom in a little oil
- Mix all ingredients together in pan with wooden spoon till well and truly smushed up together then leave to cool
- When cool, wash your hands and shape mixture into burger (or sausage) shapes
- Brush with oil and grill or fry
