Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Pickles, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
Instructions
Place the textured vegetable protein (TVP) in a large bowl.
Pour the boiling water over the TVP, stir in the soy sauce, and set aside for 10 minutes to rehydrate.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the grated carrot to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until softened.
In the bowl with the rehydrated TVP, add the sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, flour, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 4 patties, pressing firmly to help them hold their shape.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a patty, sliced tomato, sliced pickles, mustard, and ketchup. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegetarian savory pork burger!
