Pub style Meaty veggie burger. 고기같은 채식주의자용 햄버거

Good day everyone.

Today I'm bringing you a great burger recipe that you might have seen in a nice British pub!!
A juicy burger is one of my husband's favorite recipes. He loves asian food but he needs to have this kind of comfort meal once in a while. Doesn't it look great???

안녕하세요 여러분 !
오늘은 맛있는 펍스타일 버거 레시피로 돌아왔습니다 !!!
육즙이 줄줄흐르는 버거는 저의 남편의 좋아하는 음식중 하나인데요. 한국/아시안 음식도 좋아하지만 가끔씩은 이렇게 외국음식도 먹어줘야 하는 남편입니다. 너무 맛있어 보이지 않나요??

CAN YOU NOTICE THERE IS NO MEAT IN THIS BURGER????
That's right. This is a quorn meat burger.
하지만 이 버거엔 고기가 없다는 사실을 여러분은 믿으시겠습니까 ???????
맞습니다. 이것은 바로 야채로만들어진 버거입니다 !!!

About 3-4 weeks ago, I came across this film about how harmful eating processed meat and meat products can be.
In this film, they called meat, "dead meat bacteria" and undigestable protein in the meat can cause toxicity in our intestine.
It is true that the meat we eat is coming from dead animals but do I want to be reminded of this every time I eat my meat???

The film showed several research papers to back up their ideas. I haven't been through the research papers yet so I dont know about the quality of the research. I do work with medical research papers at work from time to time so I shall have a look.
This film didn't stop me from eating meat but it gave me the idea of living without meat for awhile.

I always wanted to eat more veggies in my diet and to live as a vegetarian at least 2-3 day a week.
I used to think a meal without any kind of meat was boring and I needed meat to satisfy me. So why don't I be creative with plant-based products ???

Now I haven't​ had​ meat for over 3 weeks. The biggest change is that I don't​ need meat to satisfy me anymore.
Although I​ dont eat meat, I still eat eggs, cheese and fish. I can see my dinner table is getting more versatile​ every day​ and our food bill has been reduced a lot. So here we are. I'm​ trying something new every day​.

I don'​t know how long I will continue omitting​ meat in my diet but we shall see how I feel.

I found England has plenty​​y of veggie/vegan food everywhere you go. I found this product from Tesco. They had a deal of 3 for £5.
Eating this kind of processed style meal isn't my cup of tea. I would rather cook something from fresh ingredients but I want to taste this veggie burger ! I had high expectations from this somehow.

제생각엔 영국은 채식주의자들이나 베건들에게 좋은 환경인것 같아요. 대부분의 슈퍼마켓이나 건강 식품 전문점에서 이분들을 위한 음식을 많이 팔거든요. 이제품은 채식제품을로 꾀유명한 회사인 Quorn 에서 만든건데요. 사실 이렇게 만들어진 음식을 잘 안사는데 왠지 이건 맛봐야 할섯같아서 사봤어요.

This is how it looked when I opened the package. It looks like a half cooked meat burger with very low meat content and filled with meat binders. But the smell was delicious. It had soy sauce and a smoky aroma all together. Yum.

포장지를 뜯었을때 모습이예요. 어느정도 조리된 소고기 패티처럼 생겼는데요. 다른건 몰라도 냄새가 정말 좋았어요.
간장이랑 숯불향이 같이 공존하는 그런 ㅎㅎㅎ오 이때 가슴떨렸어요.

I normally eat burgers with chips but our oven is packed up so I made some fried potatoes instead.
I'm cooking part boiled potatoes (sliced) with home grown chives.
5 mins on each side on medium heat will be enough. Ah don't forget some salt.

저는 원래 버거는 프랜치 후라이랑 먹지만.. 오븐이 고장난관계로 감자구이 해먹었어요.
슬라이스한 감자를 반쯤 끓는 물에 익힌후 후라이팬에 부추와같이 5분쯤 구우면 완성입니다.
소금도 살살..

Although this fake meat patty looks like it's cooked, it still needs to be fried or put in the oven for 7-20 mins.
The surface does get brown and crispy as you cook it. Looks quite good.
이 패티가 조리된것처럼 보이지만 더 조리를 해야 한다는 점...
후라이팬이나 오븐에 7-10분정도 구워주면 겉은 바삭해진답니다.

This is the look after the cooking.
Im impressed !
조리후의 모습입니다 ! 감동 😍😍

I dressed the patty with tomatoes, lettuce​ and cucumber as usual.
패티는 빵에 올려 토마토 양상추 오이와 함꼐..

Good isnt it???

This is how it looked when I bit into it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have the meaty texture that I wanted. It's much softer like a hard block of tofu but I was very happy with the flavour​.

It's smoky and well marinated with nice spices.
Yum. I will buy it again.

한입 베어 물었을떄의 모습이예요.
안타갑게도 고기질감은 아니구요 조금더 부드러운 그런 질감이예요.
하지만 맛은 숯불향도 나고 짭쪼름하니 간도 잘 베어 있었답니다.
만족 또살꺼임 😘

See you next time pals. x
