 ∙ Gluten-free & vegan∙

In summer, there's nothing better than a cozy barbecue with friends. And when juicy burgers are sizzling on the barbecue, the barbecue evening is perfect😊 These simple vegan burger patties are prepared in a flash and are super easy to grill without falling apart. You are completely free to choose your own toppings and prepare your own creations! I used crunchy red cabbage, juicy tomatoes, some rocket, sprouts and a spicy vegan cocktail sauce. The burger also tastes great with grilled vegetables and a fruity chutney😊 And I can promise you one thing - even meat lovers won't be able to resist this delicious burger! Have fun trying it out and have a wonderful summer's day!

Preparation time

Cooking time

Portions
5 patties

Ingredients

Burger patties

  • 2 packs of vegan mince (e.g. Beyond Mince)
  • 2 onions
  • 1 large clove of garlic
  • 1/4 bunch fresh parsley
  • A little salt and pepper

Cocktail sauce

  • 1x vegan crème fraîche (e.g. New Roots)
  • 60g vegan mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/2 tbsp mustard
  • 1/2 tsp paprika powder or Sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • salt and pepper

Toppings

Potato wedges

  • 1kg waxy potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tsp paprika powder
  • French fries seasoning (optional)
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 tbsp polenta / corn semolina

This is how it's done

  1. Wash the potatoes and cut into equal-sized sticks with the skin on. Next, add the spices and olive oil and mix well. Then add the corn semolina and mix everything thoroughly again. Place the chips on a baking tray lined with baking paper (they should not touch each other if possible) and bake for approx. 20-25 minutes at 220 degrees top/bottom heat until crispy.
  2. Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic cloves. Heat the olive oil in a small pan and sauté the onion, garlic and paprika powder for approx. 3 minutes. After sautéing, transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Wash the parsley, pat dry, chop finely and add to the onion and garlic mixture.
  4. Add the vegan mince to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients together well and season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 5 patties (approx. 120g each) and fry in a pan with a little olive oil for approx. 15 minutes until golden brown. After 10 minutes, place the vegan cheese on top of the patties so that it can melt nicely.
  5. While the patties are sizzling in the pan, wash the red cabbage, rocket and tomatoes and pat dry. Finely slice the red cabbage and cut the tomatoes into thin strips. Set aside until ready to serve.
  6. For the cocktail sauce, mix the crème fraîche, vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, paprika powder and chili flakes and/or Sriracha sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. In the last 5 minutes, toast the roll halves in the oven (220 degrees top/bottom heat) so that they are a little crispy.
  8. Now the burger can be served: First put some cocktail sauce on the base, then the patty with the melted cheese on top, then red cabbage, rocket, tomato slices and sprouts on top, possibly some more cocktail sauce and finally the top.
  9. Serve the burgers with the fries on plates and enjoy😊
