- 2 cups Portobello mushrooms cubed (gills removed; sautéed if desired)
- 2 cups of cooked black beans rinsed and separated.
- 1 cup minced broccoli fresh only
- ½ cup red onion minced
- 3 extra-large eggs beaten
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons Panko or gluten-free Panko
- 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce vegetarian/vegan version if needed
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ¾ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese or vegetarian/vegan Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil for cooking
Prepare the Ingredients:
Cube the Portobello mushrooms and remove the gills.
Sauté the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes over medium heat with a little olive oil if desired, then set aside.
Mince the broccoli and red onion, ensuring they are finely chopped.
Mash the Black Beans:
In a large bowl, mash 1 cup of the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some texture.
Leave the other cup of black beans whole for added chunkiness.
Combine the Ingredients:
To the mashed beans, add the sautéed mushrooms, whole black beans, minced broccoli, red onion, and garlic.
Stir until well mixed.
Add the beaten eggs, Panko breadcrumbs, Montreal steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Combine thoroughly until all components are evenly blended and the mixture forms a cohesive mass.
Form the Patties:
Using your hands, form the mixture into burger patties.
You should get about 6-8 medium-sized patties, depending on your preferred size.
Cook the Veggie Burgers:
Heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, add the veggie patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
For an extra crispy finish, place the patties in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 10 minutes after pan-frying.
Serve:
Serve the chunky Portabella veggie burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, or even some extra cheese or sauce.
