Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a non-stick skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is soft and golden, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped mushrooms and cooked potatoes to the skillet.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any excess moisture has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  7. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl. Stir in flour, breadcrumbs, and beaten eggs (or a vegan egg substitute) until well combined.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, approximately 1/3 inch thick.
  10. Heat a clean non-stick frying pan over medium heat with a swirl of olive oil.
  11. Place two patties in the pan and cook until deep golden brown on the bottom, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  12. Carefully flip the patties, add a little more oil if needed, and cook the other side until browned and heated through.
  13. Repeat with the remaining patties.
  14. Toast buns if desired, then assemble burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion slices, and a generous spread of ginger banana chutney.
