Instructions
FOR THE PATTIES heat a large frying pan and put a small amount of oil. Place Portobello mushrooms (style removed) in pan and sauté until hot. Place another pan (preferably a heavy cast iron pan) on top of the mushrooms.
5 Piece Portobello mushrooms
NOTE: Please check beforehand if the pan is suitable for weighting. Unsuitable are pans with sensitive coatings. For example, I used a stainless steel pot. Cast iron pans are just as ideal.
Turn heat down to medium and fry mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they have lost some of their water and are nice and flat. See video!
Place on a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
FOR THE PANANDE build a station with three bowls. In the first bowl, add chickpea flour, water, pepper, kala namak (or salt) and nutmeg. Whisk until a uniform liquid is formed.
55 g Chickpea flour, 150 ml Water, ½ tbspn Kala Namak, Pepper to taste, 1/8 tbspn Nutmeg
In the second bowl, add the gluten-free flour mixture. In the third bowl, add the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
125 g gluten free flour mix, 125 g Breadcrumbs
For breading, always work with one hand and keep the other hand clean. Alternatively, work with pliers. Take one Portobello mushroom at a time, roll both sides in the gluten-free flour mixture, pull through the liquid chickpea flour mixture, and finally roll in the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all mushrooms are coated.
Heat large frying pan and add a little oil again.
At least 3-4 tablespoons of oil or margarine for frying
Sear breaded Portobello mushrooms about 3-5 minutes on each side until patties are crispy browned on the outside.
Slice open vegan burger buns, spread with sauce, place portobello pattie on top, add tomatoes, onion, pickles, vegan cheese and other toppings as desired, place bun lid on top and enjoy!
