Vegetarian burger: meat-free heaven

Vegetarian dishes are now on the menu in most restaurants, but the quality of these dishes varies widely. Most people 'tick off' veganism by going down the fried mushroom-grilled cauliflower-grated cheese route, but the fact is that vegetarian diets are much more colourful and varied than that. For example, there's the veggie burger, which is not only delicious but can be made in thousands of different ways!

How did the veggie burger get on the map?

The veggie burger is one of the healthiest foods on the menu. Its origins are unclear, but it is known that veggie patties have been made in Eurasian kitchens for a long time. Its modern-day rise began with the rise of the healthy eating trend.

Interestingly, the first meal, called the VegeBurger, was made by Gregory Sams in London in 1982. Nowadays, you can eat veggie burgers in many places and even make them yourself in your own kitchen at home!

What goes in the bun?

A veggie burger is actually a meatless burger: all sorts of goodies are stuffed into a bun cut in half, with one main rule - no meat. It's not a very technical definition, but it's a good one, because the flavours and contents of a veggie burger are limited only by the imagination.

The centrepiece of the dish is typically the patty, which can be made from soya, beans, tofu, seeds, mushrooms, grains, but it is also very common for a slice of good quality cheese to "take the throne".

Here are some great tips and flavour combinations!

Make a patty with vegetables! Blend up your favourite vegetables (lentils, beans, chickpeas preferred), season with spices and cook the veggie patties in a pan or grill!
For those who like cheesy burgers, try the goat cheese sandwich topped with onion jam and served in a sweet bun. You're guaranteed an orgy of flavour!
The traditional feel of meat is best captured by the bean scones.
If you're not in the mood for a scone, substitute a fried egg, toast and a bit of cheese!
Why is vegan better?

This question is not difficult to answer, but if you're a meat fanatic, you'll probably prefer a meat burger alternative to vegan. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to a vegan diet.

First and foremost, plant foods are much easier for the body to process and therefore do not put too much strain on it. Not to mention the fact that more vitamins and minerals enter the body, resulting in a more energetic and active person.

As these foods contain fewer calories, they can help you lose weight and can also play a significant role in preventing weight gain. Skin can become more beautiful and healthy, digestion more balanced and the immune system stronger as a result of a meat-free diet.

Every year, more and more people are becoming vegan and grocery stores are responding to the growing demand. You can now buy vegetarian ingredients, even scones, which is a great relief for people who don't like to cook. And if you also abstain from semi-prepared food, there's still the option of enjoying a super veggie burger in a cosy restaurant.

Vegetarian burger as it's made at KIOSK

KIOSK's veggie burger brings the real burger experience, with the difference that it's 100% meat-free. The classic beef patty has been replaced with "white marble chunks" from Csurgódomb Cheese Kitchen, a real, full-flavoured cow's cheese. The robust character of the cheese is balanced with soft avocado and refreshing tomato salsa. We wrap this flavourful delight in artisan buci and serve it to our guests with hot chips.

Indulge in a vegan treat!
