Succulent,
smoky and meaty – mushrooms are not only fully of amazing flavour &
texture,
but also a great substitute for meat, especially in vegan diets, making it a true staple (for those who like them! 😂).

But even if you
don’t like the thought of having to stuff a whole or sliced 🍄 mushroom in your
cake-hole, I’d strongly
recommend to “hide” some in your diet (meaning chop them really small & add them to sauces or even homemade seitan dough etc.!).
They’re full of nutrients, a great source of fibre & protein as well as antioxidants, while being low in calories.

That
said, let’s move on to the good stuff & I’ll tell you how to make some super-fast,
super-easy, super-healthy
and – most importantly – super-affordable 💸 Mushroom Burgers!
and – most importantly – super-affordable 💸 Mushroom Burgers!
You
can get all the basics at Lidl for the cost of literally £2.25 per burger
– but
make use of your fridge & cupboard and add / subtract anything you fancy.
Don’t be shy to be creative!
For
2 basic 🍔 burgers, you’ll need:
• 2
fresh rolls (such as Lidl High Protein Rolls)
• 4
large, flat mushrooms
• 1
tomato 🍅
• ½ Avocado
🥑
• 1
Teaspoon of Oil
• Salt,
Pepper & smoked Paprika to taste
Brush
all 4 mushrooms with some of the oil & season with the salt, pepper and
smoked paprika before frying them in a non-stick pan (ideally: griddle pan, but
any non-stick will do!) for about 5 min. While
the mushrooms fry, chop the tomato into slices, de-stone the avocado &
slice, and half the rolls. Once
the mushrooms are done, put them on a piece of kitchen paper to remove excess
water & assemble your burger with the tomato & avocado.
Store
cupboard items to give these burgers an extra level could be mustard, vegan mayonnaise,
ketchup / BBQ sauce / hot sauce, pickles, lettuce / salad leaves, chutney, roast
veg – really anything you fancy and got to hand! 😋
Enjoy
!!!
--- EXTRA
NOTE ---
Obviously
adding the smoked paprika is completely up to you & your taste, but if you
like smoky foods, it’s well worth having in your spice rack! It’s so versatile and
a great addition to any meal that needs a bit of a deeper flavouring! 😁
