For the Burger

- 2 vegan burger patties
- 2 slices vegan cheese
- Crispy fried onions (recipe below)
- 4 slices tomato
- 2 handfuls rocket
For the Salsa Rosso
- 2 jarred grilled red peppers
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- Pinch of red pepper flakes / Aleppo pepper or dried chili flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp harissa paste
- ½ tsp white wine vinegar
For the Crispy Fried Onions
- 2 brown onions, sliced into rounds
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Preparation
Salsa Rosso
Combine all the ingredients in a small food processor and blitz until combined. Set aside.
Crispy Fried Onions
Heat a frying pan on high heat, add the oil, followed by the onions. Cook for a few minutes, stirring to avoid them catching and charring. Set aside.
Burger Patties
In a food processor, blend the onion, mushrooms, half the lentils, tarragon leaves, and parsley. Blitz until combined, then decant into a bowl.
Add the remaining lentils and panko breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until the breadcrumbs have absorbed any moisture and the mixture can be formed into 2 burger patties. If needed, add a little extra panko to achieve this consistency.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the burger patties for 6-8 minutes until cooked through. Add the vegan cheese slices for the last minute to melt, if desired.
To Assemble the Burger
Toast the brioche buns. Spoon 1 tbsp of Salsa Rosso onto the base of each bun, followed by the cheese-topped burger patty.
Add the tomato slices, crispy fried onions, and a handful of rocket. Top with the other half of the bun.
To Serve
Serve the Stealth Skin On Fries alongside the burger with a ramekin of Salsa Rosso as a dipping sauce.
