Mushroom Burger

Mushroom burgers are oh so tasty! They are filled with plenty of vitamins and minerals and they also contain small amounts of protein. These burgers have a meaty texture and holds up well when you cook them. Vegan, Gluten-free!Recipe

The mushroom burger is a very hearty dish that eaten in a bun, lentil or lettuce wrap. This recipe contains fresh ingredients that only takes a few minutes to combine for a scrumptious meatless burger. You can use shataki, portabello or white button mushrooms to vary the flavor. My absolute favorite is shataki mushrooms but I recommend that you give them all a try to see what suits your palate!
