VEGAN MOZZARELLA MUSHROOM BURGER

Steps:

• Soak the cashews overnight or (to speed this up) boil them for 15 minutes. Then drain and rinse them. (Optionally, you can use store-bought cashew butter).
• Blend the soaked cashews with the remaining ingredients for the vegan mozzarella (It will be watery).
• Pour the cashew mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for about 5 minutes until it gets thick and cheesy, continue stirring.
• The vegan mozzarella can be used immediately for gratinating or as a cheesy dip. Or fill it in a small bowl and place covered in the fridge. Once it's firm, you can scoop into smaller balls. When you reheat the mozzarella, it melts again.
• Heat some oil in a pan. Sauté the onions for about 3-5 minutes until translucent. Add 2 tbsp water, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for further 1-2 minutes.
• In another pan, fry the mushrooms in some oil for about 6-7 minutes until they are nicely browned. Then deglaze with soy sauce, tossing to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• While the mushrooms are cooking, fry the burger patties according to the package instructions (or make your own, read recipe notes*), and toast the burger buns.
• Layer the toasted burger buns with the burger patties, vegan mozzarella, your favorite bbq sauce, roasted onions, and mushrooms.
• Enjoy!
