Ingredients
 
 

  • 300 g chestnut mushrooms
  • 2 organic eggs
  • 100 g breadcrumbs - gluten free if needed
  • 60 g shallots finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 4 Tbsp parsley - finely chopped
  • 175 ml marsala wine
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper

FOR THE CARAMELISED RED ONIONS:

  • 2 large red onions
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

TO SERVE:

  • Buns of your choice
  • Blue cheese - or another cheese of your choice such as cheddar, goat cheese, smoked cheese etc..
  • Salad leaves, tomatoes, pickles etc..

Instructions
 

  • Wash and clean the mushrooms. Mince them very finely.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add finely the sliced shallots and crushed garlic.
  • Add the minced mushrooms. Fry gently for 2 mins.
  • Add the marsala wine and finely chopped parsley.
  • Cook for 10-12 mins until all liquid has evaporated.
  • Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Mix in the beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. You can use a bit more breadcrumbs if you feel the mix is too wet. Season to taste.
  • Set aside in the fridge for 1 hour so the breadcrumbs have time to soak up any extra liquid. The burger mixture can be made up to a day ahead and kept in the fridge in an airtight container.

CARAMELISED RED ONIONS:

  • Make the caramelised onions just before you are ready to cook the burgers.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan. Add the sliced onions, sugar and vinegar. Stir a little.
  • Leave to cook for 30-40 mins under gentle heat, stirring every now and then so the onions do not stick to the pan.
  • When done, transfer to a serving bowl.

COOK BURGERS:

  • Remove the mushroom mixture from the fridge. Mould handfuls of the mince mixture into burger patties. You should have 6.
  • Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan. Cook the burgers for 10 to 12 minutes until evenly cooked. Turn them once.
  • Serve with buns, salad, cheese and the caramelised red onions.
