Time:

30m

Serves:

4

Ingredients 

For the Blended Burger Mix: 

  • 250g mushrooms
  • 250g Beef mince
  • 25g White miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon of Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper

For the Burger:

  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 bread buns
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 8 rashes of bacon (2 per burger, or more if you’re a bacon lover)
  • Mayonnaise (feel free to jazz it up by adding a little teaspoon of miso paste)
  • Pickled shallots
  • Rocket

Method 

Blended burger mix

  1. Finely chop the mushrooms with a knife so they are the same constancy of your beef mince, or for speed pulse with a food processor.
  2. Add all the burger mix ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix together until fully combined – We recommend getting stuck in and using your hands to make sure the mix is blended together properly.
  3. Divide the mix into four. Roll each of the portions into balls and shape them into burger patties, (about a finger width in size). If you’ve got time, pop them on a plate and back in the fridge for an hour or two to firm up a little.
  4. Don’t panic if your patties are feeling loose. Mushrooms retain a lot of water which will come out at some point during the burger making process.

Blended Burger

  1. Put your frying pan on medium to high heat and add a spoonful of vegetable oil to the pan. Once hot, add your patties to the pan for 3 minutes.
  2. Flip the burgers for a further minute then add a slice of cheese to the top of each patty. Reduce the heat, place a lid over the burger and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbling away.
  3. Whilst the cheese is melting on the patties, grill the bacon rashers until extra crispy and lightly toast the burger buns.
  4. Once toasted, slather the mayo to the top and bottom of the bun. Begin to build the burger by adding a big handful of rocket, 2 rashers of crispy bacon and the juicy mushroom patty to the bun. Top with a generous portion of pickled shallots and you’ve got your mushroom umami blended burger bomb!

Tips:

Don’t hang about, tuck right in and do the washing up afterwards.
