About this dish

Method
Melt the vegan butter in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook the diced onion for 5 minutes until soft and translucent, then set aside to cool.
Soak the panko breadcrumbs in the soya milk in a mixing bowl until fully absorbed.
Combine the vegan mince, cooled onion, soaked panko, aquafaba and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix with your hands until sticky.
Divide into four portions and shape into ovals, tossing each between your hands to knock out any trapped air.
Heat the same frying pan over medium heat and sear the patties for 4 minutes on each side until deeply browned.
Cover, lower the heat, and cook for a further 6 minutes until firm and heated through.
Remove the patties, then add the ketchup, vegan Worcestershire sauce, red wine and caster sugar to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, scraping up the browned bits, until glossy.
Return the patties to the pan, spoon the sauce over the top, and serve.
