Ingredients

1 cup Quinoa (cooked )
25 g Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
4 cloves Garlic (roughly chopped )
1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black Pepper
2 tbsp Hummus Seasoning
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Burger Buns (cut in half )
1 Tomato (sliced )
2 leaves Romaine or Iceberg Lettuce
1 tbsp Vegan Mayo

Instructions

In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the Dried Shiitake mushrooms. Boil the shiitake mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they are completely rehydrated.
Once the mushrooms are soft, roughly chop them.
In a food processor, add the chopped mushrooms, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, hummus seasoning, and olive oil.
Process into a smooth paste. If needed, add a little more olive oil to form a smooth paste.
In a bowl, add the cooked quinoa and the mushroom paste. Mix vigorously to create a homogenous mixture. Divide the burger mixture into 2 portions and flatten to look like burger patties
Freeze the patties for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the buns in olive oil.
To cook the burgers, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan. Place the patties onto the pan and cook each side for 3 to 5 minutes on medium heat.
Spread a spoonful of mayo onto the bun, top with lettuce and tomato and enjoy these healthy and vegan burgers with chips or fries!
