Shake Shack launches limited edition Vegan Crispy Shallot Burger in partnership with chef Neil Rankin

The is a light at the end of lockdown after all. To mark the 12^th April reopening in signature style, Shake Shack is thrilled to introduce their fans and vegan friends to the Crispy Shallot Burger, a bespoke vegan patty created in collaboration with chef Neil Rankin, topped with smoky cheddar, beer-marinated crispy shallots, lettuce and tangy dijonnaise sauce on a toasted potato bun – all 100% vegan.

Made from roasted mushrooms and onion, miso, bulgur wheat and a blend of spices, Neil Rankin and Jim Frisch, Shake Shack’s director of culinary and product development, developed a vegan patty that is deeply savoury, with a subtle smokiness.

Rankin is excited to be collaborating with such an iconic brand: “With Shake Shack being a big influencer with my own plant-based burger journey, it was surreal and an honour to be involved in developing something original for them to use. I’ve always been a believer that umami, smoke and spice are the key to living our best life; and this is the ethos this patty is founded on. I think it is important for a burger to be made of real delicious food, not just weird powders and proteins, and that’s what you get, smashed on a grill and stuck in a bun with beer-marinated crispy shallots, dijonnaise and no compromises made.”

Jim Frisch is equally thrilled to be part of this development: “We couldn’t be more excited to bring this delicious burger to our Shack fans and vegan friends! Working with Chef Neil Rankin, we developed a one-of-a-kind vegan patty that delivers on everything we love about a great burger – decadent, juicy, satisfying and packed full of umami flavour. Our Crispy Shallot Burger is a new, plant-based twist on some of our Shack classics […] We can’t wait for you to try it!”
