Tofu burgers with mushrooms and beans
Ingredients
- 250 g tofu
- 50 g mushrooms
- 50 g red beans
- 50 ml olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 2 tbsp lukewarm water
- 1 tbsp parsley
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Vegan mayonnaise
- Tomato sauce
- Salad to taste, I used baby spinach and onion rings
- Burger buns
Egg substitute
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp water
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan, add oil and sauté the onion and garlic for about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the onion has softened and browned, add the shredded tofu, mushrooms and beans. Also add water and fry until the mushrooms are completely softened.
- Add spices, parsley, salt and pepper and mix everything.
- You can add oil, if necessary. Then remove this mixture from the heat and set aside.
- Using a fork or kneader, mash and combine all the ingredients in a pan until they are completely combined (if you find it easier you can use a blender).
- In a small bowl, combine the egg substitute ingredients, baking powder, olive oil with lukewarm water and mix. This will serve as a blending agent for the mixture.
- After that it is necessary to add the mixture to replace the eggs and mix everything together until it is completely combined.
- Once you get a fine mixture it’s time for the spices. Add parsley, salt and pepper as desired, depending on how spicy you want your vegan burgers to be.
- Shape the mixture into small round burgers, about two and a half inches thick. Bake them in a little oil, on each side for about three minutes until they turn brown.
- Mix vegan mayonnaise and tomato sauce and prepare a burger bun.
- Arrange the burgers, cut the burger bun into two pieces, place the vegan burger, apply the spread, then put the baby spinach and onion and cover the burger.
- With the burger you can serve fries, French fries, cherry tomatoes or whatever goes well with this perfectly delicious vegan burger.

This delicious tofu burger with mushroom and beans recipe is all the proof you need that meats aren’t really necessary to get a delicious burger. This protein-packed meal is the perfect dinner option. Smother in a delicious “secret sauce” for an epic plant-based burger!
Tofu is a great substitute for meat, especially when you use the right spices. It is also a good source of protein, calcium and contains all the necessary essential amino acids.
For this recipe, I used mushrooms because they have a similar taste and texture to meat. The mushroom gave this recipe a superb flavor and irresistible taste!
Also, the beans gave this recipe a creamy texture. Beans have a high level of fiber and proteins just like Tofu.
If you want to explore, you can include chickpeas, lentils, tempeh, and quinoa in this recipe.
