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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Serve the assembled burgers immediately with the remaining slaw on the side for extra crunch and flavor.
