Vegan Big Mac – With Legendary Sauce

2019-03-03

Vegan Big Mac

After the VegRib and the Chili Cheese Burger we today present you another fast food classic in the plant-based DIY version. Our vegan big mac is super quick and easy to prepare. In addition to the secret sauce only 4 more toppings are added to the burger: lettuce, onion, gherkin and “cheese“. Aside from that we are lazy right now and use store-bought burger patties. Ha! Of course this is a time saver. You can buy high quality patties not only in vegan stores or organic supermarkets, but also in regular and no frills supermarkets. But if you have the time and feel like making your own burger patties, you can just substitute the store-bought ones with your favourite recipe.

The most important thing for a big mac is the legendary sauce, though. Luckily, the sauce is no rocket science and you can recreate it with only a couple of ingredients true to the original. Besides vegan mayonnaise you only need mustard, vinegar, paprika powder, garlic powder, sugar and gherkin. So simple? So simple! And if you are clever, you just make double the amount of sauce and dip some fries into it. 😉
