Sticky Mushroom Burgers with Crispy Shallots
Great big juicy mushrooms make tasty veggie burgers, especially when they're glazed with a sweet and salty mix of tamari, agave, chilli and garlic. Roast in the oven and serve sandwiched in burger buns just as they are or add a few extra toppings to make them extra impressive.
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp agave syrup
- A thumb of ginger, peeled and grated
- ½ chilli, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
- 4 shallots
- 4 burger buns
Prep: 10 mins | Cook:10 mins
Method
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Pop the mushrooms on a baking tray, stalk-side up. Mix the tamari with the agave syrup, 1 tbsp peeled and finely grated ginger, the finely chopped chilli and the chopped garlic.
2. Dollop a spoonful of the marinade over each mushroom. Rub it into the gills (the frilly bits), and a little onto the smooth side, if there’s enough.
3. Roast the mushrooms in the oven for 10 mins, or till they've shrunk a bit. They should be sticky, dense and a bit browned around the edges.
4. While the mushroom burgers cook, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallots. Set a large frying pan over high heat. Add a 1cm-deep pool of olive oil to the hot pan.
5. Add the shallots to the oil with a pinch of salt. Fry on a medium-high heat till golden and crisp, stirring constantly.
6. Serve the roasted mushrooms and crispy shallots sandwiched in fluffy burgers buns, with your favourite toppings (see our suggestions below).
