Ingredients
- 1½ cup short-grain white or brown rice cooked according to package
- 12 oz sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup black beans rinsed, drained, patted as dry as possible with paper towels
- ½ cup oats
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ to 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups sliced onions
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- vegan hamburger buns
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to directions and set aside.
- Saute the mushrooms in a dry pan to brown and remove most of the moisture. Optionally, use a bit of butter for this step, if desired.
- Drain the beans well, rinse them, and pat as dry as possible with paper towels.
- Add the rice, mushrooms, beans, oats, and seasonings to a food processor. Pulse several times to mince and combine the ingredients. Don't overprocess.
- Let burger mixture rest for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the onions in a large skillet with 2 tbsp vegan butter over medium heat until brown and tender.
- Remove the onions and set aside. Fry the burgers in the remaining vegan butter, adding more if necessary. Cook about 4 minutes over medium heat on each side. Turn once.
- Add a slice of your favorite vegan cheese to the tops, if you like. Steam some buttered vegan buns in the pan with the lid on for a minute or two while melting the cheese.
- Serve on the buns topped with the buttery onions.
