The Mushroom Larb Burger is a delightful vegetarian twist on the classic Thai larb, featuring a hearty mushroom patty infused with aromatic herbs and spices. Served on a toasted bun with fresh veggies and a tangy dressing, this burger is a burst of flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

• Portobello mushrooms - 150 grams, finely chopped
• Button mushrooms - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Shallots - 2, finely minced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh mint - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon
• Rice flour - 3 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Burger buns - 2, whole wheat preferred
• Lettuce leaves - 2, for serving
• Sliced cucumber - 1/2, for serving

Steps

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the shallots and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the finely chopped portobello and button mushrooms to the skillet and cook until all moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let the mushroom mixture cool slightly. Stir in cilantro, mint, lime juice, soy sauce, and chili flakes.
4. Once the mixture is cool, add rice flour to help bind the mixture. Form into two equal-sized patties.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
6. Toast the burger buns in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes until slightly crisp.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, then layering with lettuce, cucumber, and tomato.
8. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or side.
