Portobello Buffalo Burgers with Celery Apple Slaw

These portobello buffalo burgers offer a sophisticated twist on the classic patio favourite. By blending lean minced buffalo with finely chopped, sautéed mushrooms, the patties remain incredibly juicy while providing a deep, earthy flavour. Buffalo is a superb choice for those seeking a high-protein meal, as it is naturally lower in fat than traditional beef but rich in essential nutrients. The addition of portobello mushrooms not only enhances the texture but adds a savoury richness that complements the lean game meat perfectly.

To balance the robust flavours of the burger, we have paired it with a bright, crisp celery and apple slaw. The sharpness of the Granny Smith apple and the crunch of the julienned celery provide a refreshing contrast to the warm, savoury patty. Served on a lightly toasted bun, this dish is an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek dinner or a weekend gathering. It is a satisfying, wholesome meal that feels indulgent without being heavy, making it a reliable addition to your healthy recipe rotation.

Ingredients for Portobello Buffalo Burgers with Celery Apple Slaw

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 275g portobello mushrooms, trimmed and quartered

  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided

  • 450g ground buffalo

  • 2 celery ribs

  • 1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored (left unpeeled)

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard

  • Rounded 1/4 teaspoons sugar

  • Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer fitted with 1/8-inch julienne blade

  • Accompaniment: 4 hamburger buns or kaiser rolls, split and toasted

Pulse onion and mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add mushroom mixture, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and rounded 1/4 teaspoons pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to brown and liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool to warm, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

Cut celery and apple into 2-inch-long thin julienne with slicer.

Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar, rounded 1/8 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper in a medium bowl. Add celery and apple, tossing to coat. Let stand 15 minutes to develop flavours.

Mix buffalo into cooled mushroom mixture with your hands until well combined. Form into 4 (4-inch) patties.

Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook burgers, turning once, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare.

Serve burgers, topped with slaw, on buns.
