Ingredients

Scale
Mushroom mix
- 8 mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/2 of a red onion, finely chopped (about 1 3/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup Liquid Aminos or Tamari (or sub Soy Sauce)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
Flaxseed mixture
- 3 Tbsp flaxseed meal (not whole seeds)
- 1/4 cup cold water
Beans + Spices
- 2 – 15 oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1–2 cups bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup walnuts, minced
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp cumin powder
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup parsley or cilantro, minced
Instructions
- In a small bowl: mix 3 Tbsp of flaxseed meal with ¼ cup cold water and let sit.
- Heat large skillet on medium heat and add onions, mushrooms, garlic and Tamari. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until there’s no more liquid and mushrooms begin to stick (but not burn!).
- In a large bowl add 1 cup of breadcrumbs and everything else under “beans + spices”. When mushroom mix has finished cooking, add that to the large bowl along with the flaxseed mixture. Use a potato masher (or fork) to mash and combine to desired consistency. Refrigerate for an hour if you have the time.
- Form patties with your hands, adding more breadcrumbs if mixture is too sticky.
- If baking or grilling, preheat oven or outdoor grill to 350°.
- Baking: Brush patties lightly with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes on middle rack, carefully flipping after the first 15 minutes when they are slightly browned, careful not to over-cook! Patties will firm up more after they’re out of the oven.
Pan-Frying: Cook patties on lightly oiled skillet on medium heat. Cook until both sides are lightly browned, flipping halfway through, about 5 minutes per side depending on the heat of the stove.
Grilling: Lightly brush patties with oil. Place patties on grill once it reaches 350°. Grill each side 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through once the bottom side browns. - When everything is finished, remove patties from oven and let rest for 5 minutes (they’ll firm up a little more) while assembling lightly toasted buns with toppings and condiments of choice. Enjoy!
Notes
