Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups portabella mushrooms, cubed (smaller pieces); gills removed
• 2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and divided
• 1 cup minced broccoli, fresh only
• 1/2 cup red onion, minced
• 3 XL eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbl Panko or Gluten Free Panko
• 1 Tbl Montreal Steak Seasoning
• 1 Tbl Worcestershire *for full vegetarian style use one that does not contain anchovies
• 2 Tbl minced garlic
• 3/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan *Look for vegetarian or vegan Parmesan cheese if you do not eat animal products
• Olive oil

Directions

• In a large bowl add 1 cup of black beans and mash with a masher (chunks are OK).
• Next, add in the mushrooms, the rest of the beans, broccoli, garlic, onion, Worcestershire and steak seasoning.
• Mix just until coated.
• Add in the eggs, cheese and bread crumbs and mix gently with a large spoon until the mixture is combined.
• Set aside while you place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add in 2 Tbl of oil.
• Once the oil starts to shimmer (about a minute or two), using dampened hands (the mixture will stick to you if you don’t), scoop a 1/2 cup of mixture into the palm of your hand and gently shape into a burger all the while pressing together. The mixture should hold a burger shape. If it doesn’t add just a Tbl more of bread crumbs.
• Place in the oil and cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and a crust has formed on each side.
• Serve with hummus, guacamole or steak sauce
