All the amazing flavors of Shawarma, but in a burger! Top it with some Toum and Pickled Onions for over the top FLAVOR!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Shawarma<\/a><\/strong> is one of my favorite foods, and I\u2019ve made it a few times on this here blog. I can\u2019t remember if I dreamt this burger up, or saw somebody else make it. Either way, I had to try one myself and I\u2019m glad I did as it\u2019s one of my new favorites!<\/p>\n

why you\u2019ll dig vegan Shawarma Burgers<\/h2>\n

The first time I made these was just recently for a friend\u2019s BBQ over Memorial Day weekend. Everyone gobbled them up! It\u2019s pretty awesome to get Shawarma Flavors in a easy to transport and cook method for exactly that scenario!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

So I highly suggest making them for your next BBQ<\/a><\/strong>! And they are super simple to put together to, so let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n

ingredients for a vegan Shawarma Burger<\/h2>\n

the buns<\/h2>\n

For the buns, you\u2019re gonna wanna get some squishy white buns. Most commercially available buns in the US are accidentally plant-based, but some are specifically marked vegan. <\/p>\n

If you are making 1\/4 pound patties, go for the smaller buns at the store, they should be about 3.5 inches. I like to keep the patties thicker for this style of burger, so that\u2019s what I suggest. Otherwise bigger buns just mean bigger patties which is fine too!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Burger Patties<\/h2>\n

For the patties I just used some Impossible meat, but if you don\u2019t wanna use store-bought plant-based meat, check out my TVP BURGER RECIPE<\/a><\/strong> for a homemade burger patty. If you go that route I would maybe leave out the salt when making the Shawarma Seasoning.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Shawarma Seasoning<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m using my Shawarma Seasoning<\/a><\/strong> for this naturally. If you wanna use some pre-made Shawarma Seasoning from the store, by all means, go for it!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Parsley & garlic<\/h2>\n

Aside from the seasoning, we\u2019ll also be adding some chopped parsley and garlic to the patties. Oh and some Worcestershire sauce too (and yes it\u2019s vegan!) If you can\u2019t find Vegan Worcestershire, just use some Steak Sauce or skip it!<\/p>\n

I highly suggest making some TOUM<\/a><\/strong> and topping the burger with it. If you love garlic and have never had Toum you are in for a treat, it\u2019s probably the best dip \/ spread in the world!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Pickles & (pickled) Onions<\/h2>\n

Aside from the Toum<\/a><\/strong>, I also highly suggest adding some Pickled Onions <\/a><\/strong>and Dill Pickles too! They cut through all the richness of the burger patty and the toum perfectly!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

how to make a vegan Shawarma Burger<\/h2>\n

To a bowl, add your vegan meat, Shawarma Seasoning<\/a><\/strong>, garlic, parsley and Worcestershire sauce. Gently combine with clean hands.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

For the patties, I recommend weighing out 4 oz (115g) of the burger mixture. Then form a patty with a cookie cutter<\/a><\/strong> that\u2019s the size of your buns.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

Or for something faster, use a burger iron<\/a><\/strong> or spatula to smash the balls into patties in between 2 pieces of burger paper<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

You can toast your buns however you like, but I prefer a dry toast as I find this keeps the buns from getting soggy. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

Add your burger patties to the pan. Cook them for about 3 minutes. Then flip them and cook for another 1 \u2013 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

You can also grill these outside on the BBQ too of course!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

Assemble burger as follows from bottom to top: bun, (optional schmear of Toum), burger patty, liberal schmear of Toum, onions, pickles, top bun!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

You can also totally turn these into a (semi) traditional Shawarma. I\u2019ve been doing this with the leftovers! Just cook the patty, then chop it up.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Then simply load up a pita with it and whatever fixin\u2019s you like!<\/p>\n
