Ingredients
Burgers
- 1 pack Redefine Premium Burgers defrosted
- 2 burger buns
- 1 head of gem lettuce
- 6–8 pickle slices
- Sliced vegan cheese
High-protein burger relish
- 30 ml ketchup
- 15 ml vegan mayo
- 5 ml sriracha or to taste
- 10 g chopped dill
- 1 pickle finely chopped
- Chopped shallot
- 50 g cooked white beans
Sweet potato fries
- frozen sweet potato fries
- 15 ml oil
- Pinch smoked paprika & dried mixed herbs
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
Make the sweet potato fries:
- Heat oven to 200°C. Toss sweet potato fries with oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and dried mixed herbs. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once.
Make the dill–sriracha burger relish:
- Blend white beans until completely smooth. Mix with ketchup, mayo, sriracha, dill, chopped pickles and diced shallot. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook the burgers:
- Heat a pan on medium-high heat. Toast the buns and set aside. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Add the sliced cheese and cover with a lid or place into the oven to melt.
Build the burgers:
- Spread relish on both sides of the toasted bun. Add lettuce, burger patty and pickles. Add more relish on top if you like. Serve with a generous portion of sweet potato fries.
Tips:
- Always toast the buns: it improves flavour and protects against sogginess.
- Let the patties rest 1 minute: they stay juicier and hold together better.
- Spread relish on both sides of the bun: for that proper burger-shop feel.
