Why this recipe is highly recommended
Vegetarian mushroom burgers capture the umami flavor of mushrooms with a hearty texture provided by beans and oatmeal. They are rich in protein and fiber, low in calories. Your MiniChamp mushrooms provide optimal freshness straight from the grow kit.
Ingredients (for 4 burgers)
- 300g fresh MiniChamp mushrooms (finely chopped or in food processor)
- 1 can (400g) kidney beans or black beans, drained
- 100g oatmeal or breadcrumbs
- 1 egg (or flaxseed for vegan)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, pressed
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce or Worcestershire
- Spices: paprika, salt, pepper and fresh herbs
- Optional: grated carrot for sweetness
Step-by-step recipe
1. Prepare
Clean mushrooms and chop finely (or pulse in processor). Pat beans dry and mash coarsely with a fork.
2. Mix
Sauté onion and garlic for 3 minutes in a pan with oil. Mix with mushrooms, beans, oatmeal, egg, soy sauce and spices. Let rest for 10 minutes so that it binds.
3. Forms
Form 4 flat burgers. Dust with extra oatmeal to prevent sticking.
4. Baking
Fry 4-5 minutes per side in a hot pan with oil until golden brown and crispy. Or grill for 10 minutes.
5. Serve
On a burger bun with lettuce, tomato and mustard. Delicious with fries or salad.
