Ingredients

Scale

Burgers and Buns

  • 2 Tesco Plant Chef Meat-Free Burgers
  • 2 burger buns, split
  • 1 large vine tomato, sliced
  • small handful of rocket or spinach

Slaw

  • ¼ cabbage (white, red, sweetheart or spring greens), finely sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • ½ red onion, finely sliced
  • 4 tbsp vegan mayonnaise, plus extra to serve
  • squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • small handful of chives, parsley or coriander, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high to prepare for cooking the burgers and toasting the buns.
  2. Grill Burgers: Place the Tesco Plant Chef Meat-Free Burgers on a baking tray and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until they become golden and have a crisp texture.
  3. Toast Buns: During the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, place burger buns cut-side up on the tray alongside the burgers to toast them lightly.
  4. Prepare Slaw: While the burgers grill, combine the finely sliced cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red onion, vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped herbs in a bowl. Toss to mix well, season to taste, and adjust lemon juice or mustard to preference.
  5. Assemble Burgers: Spread a small amount of vegan mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Layer with a slice of vine tomato, then add a grilled burger, followed by a generous spoonful of slaw.
  6. Add Greens and Serve: Top the slaw with a handful of fresh rocket or spinach, place the top bun over the stack, and serve immediately with any remaining slaw on the side.

Notes
