Meat free burger suggestions

Mirmar

I have to make dinner for someone who is really picky about food and they only eat a few things that are in shapes they recognise and not something new.

One of the things she will eat is burgers but I do not do meat and I do not eat burgers very much. I am looking for suggestions for burgers I can buy or easily make that are meat free but look like they could be 'normal' burgers.

Anyone know any good ones?

Mirmar Anyone know any good ones?

Veggo shop might offer something. But it is not difficult to male from beetroots I believe you could find some easy recipes. Maybe falafel would be good as well as they look like small meatballs and it is easy to find.

Mirmar but look like they could be 'normal' burgers.

You could try something like 'Beyond meat' or get anything made from texturised soya protein, they look close to 'normal' 😉

No idea if they are available in other countries but in the UK, we have a brand called Linda McCartney (yeah, the famous McCartneys) that make some amazing vegetarian and vegetarian mozzarella burgers.

Ash Just had the vegetarian mozzarella burgers for the second time today and I'm loving them. Would honestly be happy to give up on meat burgers for them.

You can make burgers that look meat-like from all sorts of things, but the texture will always be different, textured shit protein can feel almost the same though.

Apart from that, there are the commercial premade options like Impossible or Beyond Meat.

I agree with soya, just make sure to add plenty of flavour and seasoning so that it tastes of something.

Moving Mountains has premade plant based burgers. You can find them in Lithuania so possible in other Baltic countries.

Thanks all.

The ones that I found in the shop didn't look very like 'real meat' but I covered them with enough extra stuff, like cheese and sauces that they couldn't notice. 😃

Mirmar Were they able to tell that they were meat-free burgers?

She said that the beef had unusual texture but the burger tasted good. I said that it was not beef but deer and that was fine. I do not eat meat and I have no idea what deer tastes like but I thought she probably did not know either and I was right. 😉

Ash

Yeah, she definitely hasn't had it before then lol. I've had venison before and it's quite close to beef.
