Hearty Vegan Mushroom Barley Burgers
This recipe features a blend of finely chopped mushrooms, cooked barley, and spices, creating a flavorful and textured burger patty. The cooking process takes about 45 minutes and yields 4 burgers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked barley
- 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if desired)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
- Burger buns and toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Then add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked barley, sautéed mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs until it holds together.
- Cook Burgers: In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Assemble: Serve the burgers on buns with your choice of toppings and condiments.
