Method

Wash and dry your mushrooms, transfer to a blender and pulse to form a ‘mince’ texture.

In a large bowl, mix together all your burger ingredients with some salt and pepper until combined.

Separate the mix into two round patties and place onto a lined tray and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Heat a griddle pan (or non-stick frying pan) to a medium-high heat and brush burgers with a bit of oil. Once hot, fry the burgers for around 5-8 minutes on each side – depending on thickness and how well-cooked you like them!

Serve in a wholemeal bun with your choice of toppings.

*Top tip, before assembling, add the sliced cheese on top of the burgers and grill for 5 minutes to melt.
