Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup walnuts toasted
  • 8 oz mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 can black beans 15 oz, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 8 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the toasted walnuts until finely chopped. Add the mushrooms, black beans, oats, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture comes together but still has some texture.
  3. Form the mixture into 4 patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add a bit of water.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
  5. Serve the burgers on your favorite buns with your choice of toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a firmer texture, refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Avoid over-processing the mixture to keep some texture in the burgers.
• Serve with avocado slices for added creaminess.
Food Safety:
• Ensure the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are safe to eat.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking.
