Makes: 8-10 burgers

Ingredients

•2 cups portabella mushrooms, cubed (smaller pieces); gills removed

•2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and divided

•1 cup minced broccoli, fresh only

•1/2 cup red onion, minced

•3 XL eggs, beaten

•1/2 cup plus 2 Tbl Panko or Gluten Free Panko

•1 Tbl Montreal Steak Seasoning

•1 Tbl Worcestershire

•2 Tbl minced garlic

•3/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan

•Olive oil

Instructions

►In a large bowl add 1 cup of black beans and mash with a masher (chunks are OK).

►Next, add in the mushrooms, the rest of the beans, broccoli, garlic, onion and steak seasoning.

►Mix just until coated.

►Add in the eggs, cheese and bread crumbs and mix gently with a large spoon until the mixture is combined.

►Set aside while you place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add in 2 Tbl of oil.

►Once the oil starts to shimmer (about a minute or two), using dampened hands (the mixture will stick to you if you don’t), scoop a 1/2 cup of mixture into the palm of your hand and gently shape into a burger all the while pressing together. The mixture should hold a burger shape. If it doesn’t add just a Tbl more of bread crumbs.

►Place in the oil and cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and a crust has formed on each side.

►Serve with hummus, guacamole or steak sauce
