Nobody should miss out on the greasy goodness that is burger and fries! These vegetarian burger ideas are the perfect meatless alternatives to what is traditionally a meat-based meal – but don’t be surprised if even your omnivorous dinner guests love them, too.

• Bean burgers: Mashed beans offer the perfect texture for a vegetarian burger recipe, plus they’re packed with plant-based protein. Mash cooked beans with breadcrumbs, egg (beaten) and your choice of herbs and spices. Use your hands to make patties from the mixture and allow to chill before frying in oil on medium heat. For a delicious bean burger recipe, try our Cannellini Bean Veggie Burger.
• Portobello Mushroom: Skip the fuss of making burger patties by hand and simply use grilled portobello mushroom caps as a vegetarian alternative. Don’t forget to season your mushroom patties with garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Top with cheese five minutes before removing from the grill, allowing the cheese to melt to perfection.
• Halloumi: Halloumi not only gives a Mediterranean twist to a classic cheeseburger but can be used as a vegetarian substitute to a beef burger patty. Grill the halloumi until perfectly golden on the outside, and soft and creamy on the inside. The result is a vegetarian burger recipe nobody can resist.
