Ingredients
- 1 pack Garden Gourmet Sensational Burger or another plant-based equivalent
- 50 g vegan cheese (melty magic!)
- 1 ripe fig (naturally sweet surprise)
- 2 tblsp hummus
- 1 small head of green curly lettuce
- 1 tblsp (ready to eat) pomegranate seeds
- 2 tbsp vegan yoghurt
- 2 vegan ‘green burger’ buns (see recipe), or use other vegan burger buns

This deluxe-tarian lineup is basically a plant-powered party on a bun! With creamy vegan cheese and hummus teaming up with sweet figs and crunchy greens, even meat lovers might just swipe right. It’s a fantastic way to explore the joys of vegan living without any moo-ving parts. Perfect for flexitarians and newbies who want to burger up without any moo-ving parts.
How to Make It
Alright, let’s get those Deluxe-tarian Burgers sizzling! Grab your pack of Garden Gourmet Sensational Burgers (or any other plant-based hero you like) and fire up that grill pan.
While your vegan cheese (about 50 grams) and some zucchini slices are ready for their close-up, toss them on the hot grill for a couple of minutes each side until those sexy grill marks show off their stripes.
Don’t forget the fig—slice that sweet little gem to add a touch of fancy fruitiness later on. Your buns, too, deserve some grill love; cut them in half and give those cut sides a quick tan on the grill. Crispy edges? Yes, please.
Now, cook those burgers according to their package drama, and when they’re still warm and feeling cozy, slap those grilled vegan cheese slices right on top so they melt into a gooey delight.
Meanwhile, spread a generous 2 tablespoons of hummus on the bottom bun—because hummus makes everything better, no questions asked. Flavor-packed burgers appeal to both vegans and non-vegans, making this meal a hit for everyone.
Pile on the 50 grams of baby spinach leaves for some fresh crunch, then crown it with your cheesy burger patty.
Top with those fig slices and sprinkle a tablespoon of jewel-like pomegranate seeds for an unexpected pop of color and tang.
Finally, add a few curly green lettuce leaves to keep things leafy and lively before capping it with the top bun.
Voilà—your Deluxe-tarian Burger is ready to rock your taste buds with a perfect plant-powered punch!
Bonus Tips
- Swap out hummus for a swipe of vegan mayo if you’re feeling fancy—or just lazy, we don’t judge.
- Toss a few pickled jalapeños on there for a spicy kick that says, “I’m plant-powered and a little wild.”
- Double up on those greens and call it a salad-burger hybrid—because why choose when you can have both?
- For an extra crunch, consider adding smoky roasted chickpeas to the mix for a delightful texture contrast.
