Instructions
 

  • Gluten-Free Vegan Burger Buns:
  • Combine lukewarm water with warm soy milk, sugar and yeast. Mix until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add flour and psyllium husks in a large bowl. Add salt, liquids and coconut oil. Mix well. Don't worry if it will look very sticky. It's ok. Gluten-free flour is a bit different and needs more liquids. A 1:1 ratio is best.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for an hour or so at warm temperature (near an oven or a stove maybe).
  • Put some parchment paper on a large oven tray and grease it. Heat the oven at 180C.
  • Once the dough has risen, grease your hands with some oil and separate it into ~10 small balls.
  • Shape the buns and place them on the tray. Your hands should be very well greased, or else the dough will stick to your hands.
  • Mix olive oil with turmeric powder and using a brush, coat each bun. This will give them color.
  • Sprinkle some smoked paprika and seeds on top and bake in the oven for approx. 25 minutes, or until golden.
  • Vegan Burger Patties:
  • Boil chickpeas in a large pot. Add baking soda. Boil for 40-50 minutes, or until ready and soft.
  • Drain chickpeas and put them in your food processor.
  • Add all the other ingredients for the burger patties.
  • Process for 1-2 minutes.
  • Store in the fridge for 30 minutes before using.
  • Tip: You can make the veggie patties composition right after you put the buns in the oven. This way, both the buns and patties will be ready in the same time.
  • Heat some oil in a large non-stick pan.
  • Shape the burger patties and place them in the pan.
  • Fry each patty 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • Assembly:
  • Make the perfect vegan burger!
  • Add ketchup and aioli sauce on the buns. Add onion and tomato slices.
  • Place the vegan burger patty and top it with valerian leaves, pickles and some more sauce if you want.
  • Enjoy! :)
