This is basically a Greek salad, in burger form. We've got a sweet and spicy tomato, chilli, and kalamata olive chutney, a creamy tzatziki mayo, and homemade pickles to pimp up a frozen veggie burger. You've gotta try this!

Method

  • Start by making the chutney. Lightly char the tomatoes, chillies, and onion in a pan. Add to a blender, along with garlic cloves. Pulse until everything is cohesive, then add to a pan.
  • To the pan, add chopped olives, brown sugar, lemon juice, cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened. Allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the pickles. Combine the sliced cucumber, lemon, vinegar, dill, oregano, and salt. Leave to sit
  • For the tzatziki mayo, combine the vegan mayo, dill, lemon, cucumber, pepperoncinis, salt, and garlic.
  • Cook your veggie patties according to package instructions. Toast your buns in a pan, then build your burger. Start with chutney on the bottom, then lettuce, tomato (don't forget to season), veggie patty, vegan feta, pickles, then top bun with the mayo. Enjoy!
