Mushroom Burger – made with…. mushrooms!

First post of 2017!  Yippeee-ka-yaayyy!  Here’s to a much healthier year!

After the overload of meat the past month or so – my body is actually CRAVING veggies!  And as you all know – I do believe I am an undercover vegetarian!  😉  So, our last ‘braai for lunch during the week’ before we go back to work.

Here goes!  VERY experimental!  LOL!

2 medium onions

1 green pepper, cored

4 tsp olive oil

125g mushrooms

100g breadcrumbs

2 eggs

Salt and Pepper

Liberal sprinkling of Garlic and Herb Seasoning

 

Finely chop the onions, green pepper – I used the food processor, quick and easy!  Fry in olive oil until cooked through.  Add mushrooms, chopped (also short cut – food processor!)  Fry for a few minutes for mushrooms to cook through.  Remove from heat and cool until easy to handle.

Add the rest of the ingredients – and form hamburger patties – I got 4 out of this batch.  Okay, here’s the tricky part, the consistency was slightly mushy, so I was afraid that it will all fall apart on the grill!  Grilled it on foil first, but then I changed my mind and popped it in the over to oven-bake.  So I KNOW that it works well if baked in the oven! 🙂

Looks yum, not so?  And it was!
