Ingredients

Scale

Burgers and Buns

  • 2 Tesco Plant Chef Meat-Free Burgers
  • 2 burger buns, split
  • 1 large vine tomato, sliced
  • small handful of rocket or spinach

Slaw

  • ¼ cabbage (white, red, sweetheart or spring greens), finely sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • ½ red onion, finely sliced
  • 4 tbsp vegan mayonnaise, plus extra to serve
  • squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • small handful of chives, parsley or coriander, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the burgers evenly and to achieve a golden, crisp exterior.
  2. Grill Burgers and Toast Buns: Place the Tesco Plant Chef Meat-Free Burgers on a baking tray and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. During the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, place the burger buns cut-side up on the tray to toast alongside the burgers.
  3. Prepare Slaw: While the burgers and buns are grilling, combine the finely sliced cabbage, grated carrot, and finely sliced red onion in a bowl. Add 4 tbsp of vegan mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and finely chopped herbs (chives, parsley, or coriander). Toss everything together and season to taste. Add more lemon juice or mustard if desired to balance the flavors.
  4. Assemble Burgers: Spread a little vegan mayonnaise on the base halves of the toasted buns. Layer with a slice of vine tomato, then add a grilled meat-free burger. Top the burger with a generous spoonful of the prepared slaw, followed by some fresh rocket or spinach leaves. Cap the burger with the bun lids.
  5. Serve: Serve the assembled burgers immediately with the remaining slaw on the side for extra crunch and flavor.
