Ingredients
For the Veggie Burgers:
- 2 cups Portobello mushrooms, cubed (gills removed)
- 2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and divided
- 1 cup minced fresh broccoli
- 1/2 cup red onion, minced
- 3 XL eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp Panko or gluten-free Panko
- 1 tbsp Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil (for cooking)
Optional Serving Suggestions:
- Hummus
- Guacamole
- Steak sauce
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mash 1 cup of black beans with a masher until chunky.
2. Mix the Veggie Base:
- Add the remaining beans, mushrooms, broccoli, garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning to the bowl.
- Mix until the ingredients are evenly coated.
3. Bind the Patties:
- Add eggs, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs to the mixture.
- Stir gently with a large spoon until combined. Avoid overmixing.
4. Shape the Patties:
- With dampened hands, scoop 1/2 cup of the mixture and gently shape it into a burger patty.
5. Cook the Burgers:
- Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Place patties in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
6. Serve:
- Serve the burgers warm with your choice of hummus, guacamole, or steak sauce.
Notes
- Sautéing Option: For deeper flavor, sauté 3 1/2 cups raw chopped mushrooms in olive oil for 5-7 minutes before mixing.
- Vegan Adaptation: Replace eggs with a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tbsp flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water per egg) and use vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.
- Timing Tip: Do not pre-shape patties to cook later, as mushrooms may release water, making the mixture mushy.
