Marinated mushroom burger

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

"These mushrooms are marinated in a jerk-inspired marinade and absolutely bursting with sweet, tangy flavour. Everyone loves them, including the meat eaters, and the plant-based people don’t feel left out either. I also believe all things are better in a burger bun! Make these at your next braai, add them to a salad, stack them onto skewers or enjoy as a meat-free main." – Khanya Mzongwana

1. Place all the ingredients except the mushrooms in a food processor and blend until smooth to make a marinade.

2. Brush the mushrooms with the marinade, cover with clingwrap and chill for 1 hour.

3. Heat a grill until smoking hot, then grill the mushrooms until tender and caramelised, about 4–5 minutes on each side, turning once. Baste with the remaining marinade.

4. Toast the burger buns, top with vegan burger mayo, lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices and dairy-free cheese slices. Add the mushrooms and a spoonful of green hummus.
