BeyondMeat It looks, cooks, and tastes like meat.

So BeyondMeat UK is pretty much our best answer to plant-based rivals Impossible.

Unlike Impossible, this LA-based plant-based burger brilliance has made it to our shores.

With no GMOs, soy, or gluten, it does what it says! Made from pea protein, rapeseed and coconut oil, it has a signature ‘smoke flavouring’.

It’s got a great texture that even mimics a real meat patty!

Available at Tesco, or Honest Burgers, Neat Burger, and Halo Burger (various locations).

Falafel ● ● ● ● ● ●

Bake your chickpeas in the oven until they split open (8 to 10 mins) Let them cool, then add them to a food processor Combine chickpeas, onion, parsley, green onions, cumin, and coriander.

Blend until mixture resembles a thick paste then transfer to a large bowl Stir in flour and season with salt and pepper Form mixture into 4 large patties Cook patties on a skillet with oil (3 mins each side)

You can even make a yoghurt-dill sauce for your plant-based burger: ● ●

Mix yoghurt, cucumber, dill, and lemon juice until combined Then, you’re ready to assemble your burger!

Available at: The supermarket.

Meatless These soya and pea protein patties have some great seasoning. They’ve even got beetroot, radish and tomato extracts. Plus, they’re healthy with heaps of vitamins and minerals!

These Meatless patties are hefty, and they do well on the grill. They’ve got a great bite to them, but some say you need condiments to bring out the flavour!

Available at: Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s and Co-Op.

Tomato Burger Hold up, hold up. We know what you’re thinking. First off, that’s not a plant-based burger specifically for the UK. Secondly, what a cop-out!

You can get a tomato anywhere, and you’d feel pretty hard done by if you paid for a tomato burger in a restaurant. But a ripe, chunky heritage tomato drizzled with a bit of balsamic and olive oil sure can replace a patty. ● ● ● ●

Process all the ingredients together until they resemble ground meat Shape meat into about six patties Dehydrate for one hour (or put them in the fridge), or until the burgers are firm Cook them up, and away you go!

Available at: Any supermarket, or your veggie patch!

Waitrose Jackfruit First you get a sweet fragrance from the jackfruit. Then it’s topped with a BBQ smokiness. Plus, this vegan burger is beautifully crisp and golden. It’s salty, moreish, and deliciously moist. The pulled jackfruit filling is quirky, and to die for!

Available at: Waitrose.

It looks like times are changing, both in the supermarket and at restaurants. There’s a new wave of plant-based burgers trying to mimic the flavour and texture of real meat burgers.
