Instructions

Cook brown rice according to package directions; you’ll need 1 ½ cups cooked rice.
Heat large skillet on medium heat and sauté onions, mushrooms, garlic, with liquid aminos or tamari until moisture is cooked out, 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl.
When rice and mushroom mix has finished cooking, add to large bowl along with ¾ cup bread crumbs. Use a potato masher or your hands to knead and mash everything together until desired consistency, adding more bread crumbs as needed until it’s slightly tacky but not sticky. Use your hands to form patties and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour if you have the time.
If baking, preheat oven to 350℉.
Lightly brush patties with olive oil.
Baking: Bake patties on middle rack for 22-25 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes. When patties are lightly browned remove from oven.
Pan frying: In a large skillet, cook patties on medium heat until each side browns, about 5 minutes per side.
Let patties rest for 5 minutes, they will firm up more as they cool.
Build your burgers on lightly toasted buns with all your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles or cucumber, avocado, mustard, and/or vegan mayo (or add sriracha for chipotle mayo!). Enjoy!
