1 tbsp Garlic, Finely Chopped
2 tsp Soy Sauce
230g White Rice, Cooked
250gr Tempeh, Chopped
120g Beetroot, Peeled & Grated
25g Rolled Oats
1 tbsp Barbeque Sauce
½ Cup The Alternative Dairy Co Soy Milk
1 tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Clove Garlic Crushed
1 Cup Simply Pure Canola Oil
5 Nature’s Fresh Original Hamburger Buns
5 tbsp Vegan Aioli
5 tbsp Tomato Relish
10 Pickles Slices, Cut Lengthwise

Method

1. Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a frying pan. Brown portobello mushrooms, season with salt and pepper then remove from pan and set aside.

2. In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic until softened. Deglaze with soy sauce then remove from pan.

3. In a food processor, add mushrooms, sauteed onion and garlic, beetroot, tempeh, rice, oats and barbeque sauce and process until the mix resembles mince.

4. Form the mixture into 5 burger patties and fry each side for 2-3 mins.

5. To make the vegan aioli, combine the soy milk, garlic, mustard and vinegar in a blender and blitz until well combined. While continuing to blend, slowly drizzle in the oil until thickened to an aioli consistency.

6. To assemble, lightly toast the burger buns and spread 1 tablespoon tomato chutney on the bottom of each bun, top with the burger patties, 2 lettuce leaves, 2 tomato slices, 2 pickles slices and 2 red onion slices. Spread a tablespoon of vegan aioli on top of each burger bun and place on top.
