Ingredients

• 400 grams Cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Oats
• 1 cup Cooked black beans
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 Egg (or flax egg for vegan version)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean and finely chop the cremini mushrooms.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates completely. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a food processor, pulse the oats until they resemble coarse flour.

Step 7

Add the cooked black beans to the food processor and pulse a few times to form a coarse mixture—do not over-blend.

Step 8

Add the cooked mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, egg (or flax egg), salt, and pepper to the food processor.

Step 9

Pulse the mixture until it holds together but still has some texture. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.

Step 11

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

Step 12

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 13

Cook the veggie patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.

Step 14

Serve the mushroom veggie burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a dollop of aioli.
