MUSHROOM BURGERS

450g/3 cups mushrooms, finely sliced

1/2 red onion, finely diced

1/2 of a jalapeño, finely diced (optional, but adds a nice spice)

2 tablespoons butter

couple pinches of sea salt and black pepper, to taste

150g/1 1/4 cups ground almonds

1 tablespoon cumin

1 tablespoon dried parsley (or fresh is better if you have it)

1 large carrot, roughly chopped

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a preheated pan, melt the butter, then add diced mushrooms, onion and jalapeño. Add pinch of sea salt and pepper. Sauté for about 8 minutes, until mushrooms are cooked and soft.  Add ground almonds to a large bowl with cumin and parsley.  Mix.  Add roughly chopped carrot to food processor and pulse until finely shredded.  Add to large bowl with ground almonds. Mix well.  Add black beans to food processor and pulse until smooth, a few small chunks is fine, you don’t want to over process.  Add to bowl and mix everything together.  Add in mushrooms, onion and jalapeño from pan to bowl and mix everything together, really well.  Add salt and pepper to taste. The mixture will be chunky and sticky.  Form into about 6 patties.   Reheat pan on medium-high heat and spray more oil (if needed), then add patties.  Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, and flip, until golden brown and firm.  Serve in a lettuce wrap or on a bun with your favourite toppings!
