This week the I♥CC members make any Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall recipe that could be found in a pub. I think a
King Trumpet Burger
is pub food at its best and goes well with a beer. I wanted to use portobello mushrooms for this recipe because finding a puffball is impossible for me. Unfortunately my favourite supermarket offered no portobellos, so I used King Trumpet instead
King Trumpet Burger
Yield: 2 servings
An incredibly satisfying bit of fast food.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp oil or lard
- 4 rashers streaky bacon
- 4 slices puffball (field mushroom or other), skin removed and cut into slices about 2cm thick, trimmed to roughly the same size as the baps
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 good soft baps
- A few salad leaves – dressed, if you like, with a little vinaigrette
VINAIGRETTE
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp wine, sherry or cider vinegar
- pepper
- a pinch of sugar
Instructions
- Put a frying pan over a medium heat, add the fat, then add the bacon and cook until it is as crisp as you like it. Remove the bacon and keep it warm.
- Add the slices of puffball then turn them over immediately, to stop the first side absorbing all the fat, and fry for about 3 minutes, until golden. Flip them over again and fry the other side for the same amount of time. Season the puffball.
- Cut open the baps, add two slices of bacon to each, then some of the dressed leaves, then a couple of slices of puffball or mushroom of your choice. Close the baps and serve straight away.

I wouldn’t be able to find a puffball mushroom here either but any mushroom cooked with bacon would be excellent on a bun.
This was a great idea for pub grub! A good mushroom burger rivals a regular beef burger anyday:)
I feel that mushroom is underused when it comes to burgers. Any mushrooms are good with buns.
This looks really delicious! I have bacon, now need to go get me some portobello and this will be a good dinner!
