Portabella Mushroom & Black Bean Burgers
A savory vegetarian burger made with portabella mushrooms and black beans, offering a hearty, flavorful alternative to meat patties.
Ingredients
- 2 large Portabella mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 can black beans drained and mashed
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup breadcrumbs or oat flour for a gluten-free option
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Burger buns and desired toppings lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped mushrooms, mashed black beans, sautéed onions and garlic, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, cumin, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly and form the mixture into 4 even patties.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and firm.

Notes
These burgers can also be baked at 375°F for about 20 minutes for a healthier option. Make sure the patties are firm enough to hold together while cooking; if needed, add extra breadcrumbs.
