SERVINGS:

COOKING TIME:45 MINUTES

Ingredients

patties

100 g mushrooms
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp paprika
0.5 tbsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp soy sauce
salt to taste
0.5 cups cooked, quinoa
0.25 cups flour
2 tbsp flax meal
40 g walnuts
1.5 cups puffed quinoa

dijon mayonnaise

1 cups plant-based mayonnaise
3 tbsp dijon mustard

Other

0.5 batch pickled red onion
100 g lettuce, roughly chopped
4 burger buns

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
If not already cooked, cook the quinoa according to package instructions.
Heat a skillet with olive oil to medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 3 minute. Add the mushrooms, garlic, soy sauce, tomato pure, pepper, paprika and salt, and cook until mushrooms are soft and browned, about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a food processor, combine the sautéed mushrooms, walnuts, chia seeds, quinoa, and flour. Pulse until just combined (the mixture should hold together when pinched, but it should still have some texture).
Form into 4 patties. Cover each patty with puffed quinoa before placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the middle of oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
While the patties are baking, make the dijon mayonnaise by combining dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl and mix until well combined.
If preferred, toast the burger buns.
When the patties has finished baking, assemble the burger by layering all ingredients within the bun (bread, mayo, lettuce, patty, pickle onion, mayo, bread).
