Mediterranean Vegan Burger

Mediterranean Vegan Burger - patties with chickpeas and black olives, combined with an Avocado Hummus Sauce. Only 6 ingredients and 3 easy steps and this new staple in your house will blow you away.

I have a thing for Vegan Burger Recipes and I know you all are into my burgers. It's no secret that my Vegan Lentil Burger is the top recipe on Contentedness Cooking so it was only a matter of time until I got back to the burger roots.

You may say "burger is burger". You make a patty, a sauce, and then you top this with some onions, tomatoes or whatever it is you like or have on hand.

But this Mediterranean Vegan Burger is a special flavor wonder and taste dream - it has all what it takes to complete a burger and you are going to build the burger of your dreams.

I'm a summer guy. Do you have a favorite season? I really like the nature and with summer vibes going high, I recently took a bike tour with friends.

3 hours tour one way from my city to a city called Den Bosch. City stroll, a coffee in a small cafe, and back 3 hours.

Turns out, this burger is also a perfectly portable food to enjoy the summer, for example on such a bike tour, or an outdoors picnic. If you want and need something quick to grab, here we go.

Of course, you have the options to combine the basic recipe with your favorite toppings - or to enjoy them as they are.

I think you will soon get addicted to this Mediterranean Vegan Burger. Because you will just love this that they are perfectly flavorful, Mediterranean inspired, tasty, mouthwatering, drool worthy, easy and so delicious.

Are you excited? Let me show you how to make my Mediterranean Vegan Burger, shall I? Let's start and find a blender. Make the Avocado Hummus Sauce simply by combine hummus, garlic, almond yoghurt, and avocado. Season with salt and pepper, process until smooth.

For the patties, it's blender time round 2. Combine garlic, 2 Tbs of the Avocado Hummus Sauce, chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper, and again process until smooth.

But leave some texture, it does not have to be creamy! Now mix in chopped olives, form patties, and fry or bake for around 20 minutes at 390°F, done.

Assembling is easy: use your favorite bun (choose gluten free if you need). For myself, I used my Roasted Garlic Naan to make my own gluten free buns for the burger.

Top the burger with your favorites: onions, tomatoes, and more. Dream big, friends! Create your own burger dreams and make them happen. Enjoy!

Making the most of summer with my Mediterranean Vegan Burger

Friends, did you already know this Mediterranean Vegan Burger is not only delicious, full of flavor - it's also incredibly healthy and a good bite.

One of the main ingredients of my burger are black olives. They are rich in vitamin E - with just one cup of black olives you get 20% of your daily intake in vitamin E.

Also it's full of good fat, has anti-inflammatory benefits. These little wonders are meant to be fantastic for you. Curious about more? Then read this great overview "Health Benefit of Black Olives".

Friends, are you in the mood for a bike tour, or summer adventure?

You came to the right place! Make these, give them a try. As always let me know! Give me a tag on Facebook or Instagram. Snap a picture, I'm happy to be a part of it.

See you soon! Cheers, Florian.
