Directions

Share

Make the pickled slaw first so it has time to marinate. Mix and shape the burger patties, then pan-fry or bake. Assemble burgers with all toppings for a colorful, spicy, and Ethiopian-inspired plant-based delight. Berbere and mitmita are classic Ethiopian spice blends—adjust the amount for your preferred spice level. For an oil-free version, bake the patties instead of pan-frying.
