Vegan Black Bean and Mushroom Burgers with Oats
Plant-based patties with black beans, sautéed mushrooms, oats and flax.
These vegan burgers combine mashed black beans with sautéed mushrooms, oats and ground flax for sturdy patties. Cook the mushrooms until their moisture evaporates, chill the mixture briefly if soft, then brown the patties on both sides. Heat oil in a skillet. Cook mushrooms and onion 6 to 8 minutes until soft and most liquid has evaporated. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds; cool slightly. Mash black beans in a bowl, leaving some texture. Stir in mushroom mixture, oats, flaxseed, turmeric, salt and pepper. Form into 4 even patties. Rest 10 minutes so oats and flax absorb moisture; chill briefly if mixture is too soft. Cook patties in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned and hot throughout.
