Meatless Goodness (v) Recipe

Prepare Flax Egg

In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.

Cook Mushrooms and Leek

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms, leek, and garlic. Cook until mushrooms are browned and leek is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool.

Mix Patty Ingredients

In a large bowl, mash chickpeas with a fork. Add the cooked mushroom-leek mixture, breadcrumbs, flax egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form Patties

Shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Cook Patties

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake patties for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.

Char Leek

In a skillet, add sliced leek and cook over medium-high heat until charred and softened. Let cool.

Make Aioli

In a bowl, combine charred leek, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Cook Jam Ingredients

In a saucepan, combine diced red bell pepper, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool.

Assemble the Dish

On a plate, place a lettuce leaf, top with a patty, add a generous spoonful of charred leek aioli, and a dollop of red pepper jam. Serve immediately.
