Dice onions and saute them until translucent. Add minced garlic cloves and saute for a few minutes.
Then add sauces, liquid smoke, ketchup, cumin, chili flakes and saute for 2 minutes. Add dried herbs and mix.
Add this mixture to the TVP mixture and give it a good mix. Add salt to the mixture if necessary.
Shape them into balls and press them down to form a patty. Place them on a grease paper.
You can pan fry them right away or freeze them overnight - up to a week.
Add a dash of olive oil to a pan and let it heat up. Place the patties and pan fry them for about 3-4 minutes on both sides until brown and slightly charred.
Add a slice of cheese on the patties, sprinkle some water and close the lid to melt the cheese.
Assemble the burger: slice burger buns into half, place 2 patties with vegan cheese, sliced pickles and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard.
