Ingredients

  • 1 shallot, roughly diced
  • ¼ cup chives, roughly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, roughly sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 basket walnut pulp, dried* (from walnut milk)
  • 3 tbsp arrowroot
  • ½ cup amaranth flour
  • ½ cup flour
  • olive oil, for grilling
  • vegan Worcestershire sauce, for brushing (optional)
  • grilled pineapple, for serving
  • grilled red onion, for serving

Note: *Make sure to remove as much liquid as possible. The drier, the better! You can use a cheesecloth to do this.

Directions

  1. Add shallot, chives, garlic, mushrooms, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, paprika, dried walnut pulp to a food processor and pulse until combined.
  2. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and fold in arrowroot, amaranth flour, and regular flour until well-combined. Scoop dough into 4 burgers and flatten onto a sheet pan (or something flat) using the palm of your hand. Transfer to fridge overnight.
  3. When ready, pour a little olive oil onto your hands and oil the burgers. Grill for a few minutes on each side, and brush vegan Worcestershire sauce onto them. Serve with grilled pineapple, grilled red onion, Almond Cow BBQ Sauce, Almond Cow Pickles, and buns of choice!
