The other day we were thinking about how to get a really crispy coating for a vegan burger - and this cauliflower burger is the result! A cornflake coating makes it extra crunchy, and the combination of cauliflower and chickpeas makes it super juicy!
Divide the cauliflower into florets and cook in lightly salted water until soft (approx. 10-12 minutes).
Drain and leave to cool briefly.
Making the pattie base
Place the cooked cauliflower and chickpeas in a large bowl and mash to a paste with a potato masher or fork.
Add the oats, mustard, tomato puree, salt, cumin and agave syrup.Knead everything with your hands or a spoon to form a homogeneous dough that holds together easily.
Cover the dough and leave to rest for 15 minutes so that the oat flakes absorb moisture and bind the mixture.
Prepare the breading
Prepare three separate bowls for the breading:
Breading 1: FlourBreading 2: Mix the vegan cream, mustard and tomato purée well in a bowl.Breading 3: Roughly crush the cornflakes, then pour into a bowl.
Shape and bread the patties
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions (approx. 180 g each).
Shape each portion into a flat, round pattie.
Dip each pattie first in flour (breading 1), then in the mixture of vegan cream, mustard and tomato puree (breading 2) and finally in the crushed cornflakes (breading 3) until the surface is coated all over.
Fry the patties
Heat plenty of oil in a frying pan and fry the breaded patties over a medium heat for approx. 4-5 minutes on both sides until golden brown and crispy.
Drain the finished patties on kitchen paper.
Fill burgers and enjoy
Toast the burger buns to your liking.
Spread vegan mayo on the underside of the bun and place a lettuce leaf on top.
Place the hot cauliflower pattie on top, add the sweet chili sauce and a few slices of cucumber.
Place the top of the roll on top and press down lightly.
Serve the cauliflower crispy burgers warm and enjoy with additional side dishes or a crispy side salad!
