Instructions

• Preheat oven to 200°C 
• Clean and cut your mushrooms into halves. Cook in a pan, without oil, until they are soft. 
• Cut your red onion into rings and caramelise (cook slowly for a long time with very little oil. Onions are naturally sweet; and when you slowly cook onions over an extended period of time, the natural sugars in the onions caramelise creating a wonderful flavour). Add a little water if it tends to stick. 
• Put your mushrooms, half of the onions and all the other ingredients in a food processor. If it’s too dry/ crumbly, add more water or even the brine from the chickpeas; if its too sticky, add more breadcrumbs. 
• Pulse until all ingredients look finely diced but not liquid. You want to be able to mould it.   
• Using your hands and a spoon scoop out your mixture and make your 4 patties. 
• Place them on a lined baking tray and brush with oil. 
• Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, flipping them once halfway through. 
• Now assemble your burger however you like and remember to add the rest of your caramelise onions as garnish. Enjoy!
