Mediterranean Mushroom Burger
This recipe is developed in partnership with Peace, Love and Vegetables (my favourite fermented foods!).
The magic of fermented foods takes this burger from amazing to outstanding. Bacteria (which are used to ferment things) have amazing capabilities that allow them to extract nutrients out of certain plants that we otherwise wouldn’t have access to. These bacteria are also what makes the food “probiotic”, meaning that when we consume them, they interact with the bacteria in our guts, and help modulate it making our guts love us back. They are also what makes these foods “living”! In this burger you’ll find both sauerkraut which is fermented cabbage and a probiotic cashew cheese containing strings of bacteria that benefit our guts and therefore our overall health… Plus they taste ridiculously good!
