Homemade Mushroom and Black Bean Burger

  • Yellow Onion, Half, Diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • Butter/Margerine, couple of knobs
  • 1 package of mushrooms
  • 1 can of black beans
  • ground mustard seed
  • onion granules
  • cumin
  • turmeric
  • spicy brown or dijon mustard
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • celery salt (optional)
  • egg (optional)



Part 1:

First I caramelized diced yellow onions in a pan

And then added the garlicI chopped up maitake mushrooms and sautéed them with the onions and garlic

In a ramekin I softened and melted butter and added a dash of better than bouillon — this mixture was then poured over the top of the mushrooms garlic and onions


Part 2:

I drained black beans and place them in a bowl.
I then added the spices: mustard seed, ground as well as onion granules celery salt, cumin, as well as turmeric.
To this mixture I also added a dash of spicy ground mustard.

Part 3:
The sautéed elements were then added to the bowl the black beans and mixed together. The loose mix was then placed into a food processor to create a finer, sticky or ground.

This mix combined with some Panko breadcrumbs and then mixed. I was unsure if the Panko helped create additional texture or if it dried out the recipe and made it break apart in the pan a little

Form into patties and cook both sides in the warm skillet used for the aromatics.


Paired with:
  • Halved sweet potatoes, baked at 425˙ for 40 minutes
  • Green beans dressed in olive oil, baked on sheet with sweet potatoes for 18-20 minutes
