The story behind this recipe
I love burgers; I have a favorite place in Iași where I go. But unfortunately, it's pretty much the only place where I find burgers that are both tasty and healthy, if you know what I mean.
I decided to make them myself, and this version is my second attempt. The first one turned out great too, but they looked so good that I forgot to take pictures 😬
My recipe is meat-free and contains the following ingredients:
For the filling:
Soy schnitzel made according to [this recipe](http://thinkovereatsmart.blogspot.ro/2015/01/snitele-din-soia-fara-ou-de-post.html), only I dipped them first in egg, then in flour.
Mozzarella - 2 slices per burger
Eggplant - sliced into rounds and grilled
Cabbage salad
Finely chopped hot chili pepper
Tomato sauce or ketchup seasoned to taste
Pesto
Mustard
For the bun:
Whole wheat flour
Mixed seeds - sesame, sunflower, and flax
Yeast
Lukewarm water
Salt
Let rise for 3 hours.
For the quantities, you decide based on how many people you're serving. If you have leftover dough, you can freeze it without any problems and make more when you're in the mood.
Side dish:
Oven-roasted potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, and green garlic. In the oven for 40 minutes at 200 degrees.
First, make the buns, brush the tops with egg and white sesame seeds, then let them bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes at 180 degrees.
When they are ready, let them rest for 10 minutes, then cut them in half horizontally.
Spread one side generously with pesto and the other with mustard.
Fill with mozzarella, cabbage, schnitzel, more mozzarella, and finally fresh hot chili pepper.
I don't think I'll be stopping by my favorite burger spot as often. This recipe is simply delicious!! And as for the cost, I won't even mention it.
Bon appétit! Stay healthy!!
