What I’ve found online is recipes for putting duxelles on burgers (or stuffing) or making mushroom burgers but what I want to do is mix the duxelles with the ground to make a patty mix instead. I’m not worried about the structural integrity (in that I know it won’t be great) and I’ll do them smash style in a pan. I would use eggs and I’d like to keep the whole recipe vegetarian.
I’m not sure if I should do the duxelles with red wine or without. Or if I should add cheese (I usually add feta to the mix but feta and duxelles seems odd)? Do I have to worry about the water content?
What do you use for your patty mix? I am not a vegan but just mixing it all together should be good enough; I mixed imitation meat with mushrooms, parsley and onions and it was definitely edible.
Usually? Something like: ground + breadcrumbs + eggs + onions(precooked)/onion flakes + spices (parsley, oregano, etc) + MSG + oil (like olive oil). I wouldn’t do raw mushrooms bc they release a lot of liquid when cooking so I wanted to use a duxelle instead which would also let me cook the onions/shallots in with the mushrooms too. I don’t mean to brag, but most of the stuff I make is edible ;) I was kind of aiming for tasty. The feta version I do is better than any of the store bought veggie burgers I’ve tried but the imitation meat is expensive and I like mushrooms. But I want something I can pre-prep (like the feta ones I can just store in the fridge for a few days) and isn’t too complex to prepare (I can just throw in the pan and there isn’t multiple components).
