Who says vegans go without?
This could quite possibly be the best dang burger I have ever encountered.
Seriously.
Its made with my new favorite vegan burger patty by Gardein. It can be found in most supermarkets but for sure at the local Whole Foods.
I built this burger by first lightly toasting some locally made foccacia rolls. Then, I spread a mix of veganaise and dijon mustard and topped it with an herbed spring mix. The patty came next covered in a heavenly maple chipotle sauce. The final flourish is onions, carefully caramelized with olive oil and fresh garlic.
The result is truly special and is bursting with sweet, savory goodness.
I have never been overly thrilled with restaurant veggie burgers as they always seem like an afterthought just thrown on the menu to appease a few "picky" customers. This burger is proof that in the time it would take you to drive to your favorite restaurant, you could have a compassionate meal that satisfies on so many levels. It was also made from mostly store bought ingredients making it easy to put together without a lot of fuss.
So get creative!
