Mushroom Burger Recipe

Mushrooms are surprisingly similar in taste and texture to meat when cooked, and this mushroom burger recipe may just surprise you with how tasty it is. While mushrooms provide plenty of flavor and texture, the addition of pinto beans makes this veggie burger recipe high in fiber and protein too. This mushroom burger recipe is both vegetarian and vegan.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, diced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 3/4 cup diced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 15 ounce can pinto beans
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • oil for frying

Preparation:

Sautee the onions and garlic in olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes, until onions are soft. Add the green onions, cumin and mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until mushrooms are cooked. Set aside.

Mash the beans with a fork or a potato masher, or process in a food processor until well mashed.

Add the mushrooms to the beans and add parsley, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Shape the mixture into patties. Heat about two tablespoons of olive oil and cook each patty until the veggie burgers are done, about 3 minutes on each side.

Delicious!, Guest

I am attempting to switch to a vegan lifestyle, and burgers like this - delicious and animal-friendly - are HUGE motivators! I'm incredibly picky about food to begin with, but I truly enjoy this meal. Like the other reviews said, it does not hold together well - though from what I've heard, few veggie burgers do. Personally, I like that about it! The melt-in-your-mouth feeling. :)
