Somehow I wanted another Burger not always the same. BBQ Style , Mexican , there must be something else! Why not just go Italian? Sounds good and, above all, tastes good. But what makes an Italian burger? Of course, the spices and they remind a little pasta. Basil, oregano, thyme and marjoram, to name the best known representatives. This Recipe is especially suitable if you simply want to cook Italian food in a different way. Feel and taste the difference! Mamma Mia, I hope the Italian moms don’t get out the rolling pin as soon as they hear there’s a burger.
Bella vegan Italian burger
To be honest, I really enjoy Burger really fun by now, but that wasn’t always the case. Especially in the beginning, I had so many failed attempts. At one point the patties were so soft they couldn’t be formed, then they fell apart while frying. Even worse, they were rock hard that you could barely bite them. It just always hooked on the binding. Therefore, here are my top tips for the perfect binding Without egg or other stuff!
Here are my top 3 binders for vegan burger patties:
- Oatmeal = has excellent absorption and swelling properties and therefore provide a top binding. You can buy ready-made oatmeal, but I grind it myself with my food processor. Note for intolerances: There are also gluten-free oatmeal in all well-stocked (organic) supermarkets.
- Ground flaxseed = is made from whole Flaxseed produced. Please do not confuse with flaxseed meal, which contains only the empty shell, as the valuable oil has already been extracted. I grind my own flaxseed meal in the food processor and store it in the refrigerator (or freezer), so the valuable ingredients remain contained for a very long time. Flaxseed have swelling properties and thus help bind the burger patties.
- Tapioca Starch: A wonderful starch that is quite well known in the Asian region and provides additional binding. Highly recommended, although optional with this recipe.
Among the other ingredients for the patties: red onions, garlic, olive oil, chickpeas, vegan parmesan , Italian herbs, parsley, oatmeal , Italian sauce (homemade), a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Topped with fresh cherry tomatoes, onion in a great bun. This time I opted for black buns, which I’ve linked below (in case you’d like to try it out).
That veggie life!
