Before you start
Large frying pan | Frying pan or baking paper lined roasting tray
Prepare the vegetables
- Peel and dice the onions and garlic
- Cut the mushrooms into very small pieces, about the size of a pea
Start the burger patties
- Place a large pan over a medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil
- Once warm, add the chopped onion, garlic and a pinch of salt
- Mix well and cook for 5-10 minutes until the onion becomes soft
- Once the onion feels soft, add the smoked paprika and mix through
- Cook for another minute before adding the chopped mushrooms
- Mix everything together well and leave to cook for another 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms reduce in size and become soft
- At this point, stir through the drained black beans and leave to cook for 5 minutes
- Mix through the flour and miso paste and cook for a final 10 minutes
- Crush the ingredients with a fork to bind the mixture together and mix well before leaving the mixture to one side to cool down a little
Shape the patties
- Once the mixture feels firm enough to shape into patties, use your hands to shape 6 patties
- You can either cook them straight away or cover them and leave them in the fridge until needed
Cook the patties
- Once ready to serve, heat a large pan over a medium heat
- Add a drizzle of olive oil
- Once warm, add the burgers and cook on each side for 5-6 minutes until charred
- You can also place them in an oven at 180˚C, fan setting for 10-15 minutes to cook through
Serve the burgers
- Halve the burger buns and toast in the pan
- Roughly slice the lettuce
- Serve the burgers in buns piled high with kimchi, lettuce and Sriracha mayonnaise
