Incredible veggie burger

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal binds the ingredients while adding fiber.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide a gluten-free option while still binding.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier but vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns offer more nutrients, while white bread is cost-effective.

Introduce 400 grams of chickpeas and 300 grams of sweet corn into a blender.

Add 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of ground coriander to the blender.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of chili, a little salt, and black pepper to the mixture.

Zest 1 lemon and add the zest to the blender, then cut the lemon in half and add the juice of 1 lemon.

Blend the mixture until combined but still chunky.

Add porridge oats to the mixture to help bind it together, blending again until it reaches a pate-like consistency.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Slice 2 onions and heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.

Add the sliced onions to the pan and pour in a generous amount of balsamic vinegar.

Cook the onions on medium heat for about 25 minutes until soft and sticky, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, prepare the lime mayonnaise by adding 2 egg yolks, zest of 1 lime, and juice of 1 lime.

Add around 1 teaspoon of English mustard to the egg yolks and whisk together.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until the mixture thickens into a mayonnaise consistency.

Once the onions are caramelized, set them aside.

Heat a third pan with a drizzle of olive oil and add the chilled burger mixture, cooking until golden brown.

Assemble the burger by placing a generous portion of caramelized onions on the bottom of the bun, followed by the burger patty, mixed leaves, and a spoonful of lime mayonnaise.
