Enjoy this satisfying burger on a whole grain bun with a side of salad for a complete vegan meal.
Ingredients: 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped. 1 cup cooked lentils. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped. 1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tsp Italian seasoning. 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes adjust to taste. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 whole grain burger buns. 1 cup marinara sauce store-bought or homemade. 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded. Fresh basil leaves for garnish. Olive oil for cooking.
Instructions: In a large bowl, combine the chopped mushrooms, cooked lentils, breadcrumbs, onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into meatball-sized patties. You should get approximately 4 patties from the mixture. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. While the patties are cooking, heat the marinara sauce in a separate pan. Once the patties are cooked, place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Preheat your oven's broiler. Split the whole grain burger buns in half and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, until they are slightly crispy. Place a vegan meatball patty on the bottom half of each bun, spoon marinara sauce over each patty, and sprinkle with vegan mozzarella cheese. Put the open-faced sandwiches back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the broiler, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and cover with the top halves of the buns. Serve your Vegan Meatball Sub Burgers hot with a side salad or your favorite accompaniments.
