Vegan Burgers 3 Ways (plus a competition!)

by 100 Comments

Burgers are a regular on our menu at home, usually for a quick and tasty Friday night dinner.  If you’re vegan, vegetarian or simply want to include less meat and more plant-based meals in your diet then this is a super simple way to do it!  

In the ideal world, we would all have the time and skill to cook everything from scratch, but for most of us, it’s just not reality.  Sometimes you need a bit of a sanity saver and these Vegie Delights Lentil Patties are just that. They taste great, are quick to cook plus they’re fortified with Vitamin B12.  Vitamin B12 must be supplemented in vegan diets as it’s only found in animal-based foods. They’re also a source of iron and zinc. Pick them up in the frozen aisle at Pak’nSave and New World supermarkets.  

Here are three delicious vegan burger recipes you can create with the Vegie Delights Lentil Patties. There’s a range of other products too that are great for those nights when you just don’t feel like cooking.  

These are three simple and delicious vegan burgers that you can have ready within half an hour. Now that’s my kind of dinner!

    Herby Pesto Burger is the one that appeals the most to me.

    I like the idea of the Lentil Patties. These’d great substance to the burger- the sort of mouth-filling satisfaction that carnivores crave. I’d like to test them out on my sons. Meanwhile – they’ve got plenty of veggie goodness to provide a feelgood meal for all.

    Definitely the pesto burger for me. That is if they are gluten free lentil patties as I’m coeliac as well as vegetarian.

  85. Alicia Stewart

    Mega Vege burger! The portebello and recipe looks DELISH.
    Definitely keen to try these patties out too!

  90. Kate Rassie

    The herby pesto burger sounds sublime! Love all these ideas, and am such a fan of lentil and bean-based patties. They’re delicious, and often just as satisfying as meat alternatives. I love varying the bun choices too: ciabatta rolls make a great alternative, as do steamed bao-style buns, brioche rolls, and baguette. I love fat portobello mushrooms, and (for vegetarians rather than vegans) burgers make a great cheese showcase. There’s nothing like a slice of cumin-spiked Gouda alongside a decent meat-free patty!

  94. Indy
