Forge Crafted Recipes

Ingredients:

• 3 portobello mushrooms 
• 2 cans black beans
• 1 small head broccoli, minced
• 1/2 large red onion 
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs 
• 1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning 
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic 
• 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• olive oil, salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Rinse and dry mushrooms. Remove gills. Cut into small pieces and sauté with olive oil until mushrooms are tender. Set aside to cool.
2. Place 1 cup of black beans in a large bowl and mash. Add broccoli, chopped onion, minced garlic, another cup of black beans, and mushrooms to bowl. Gently mix vegetables together.
3. Add Worcestershire and steak seasoning. Mix until coated. Add eggs, parmesan and bread crumbs and mix again until the mixture is combined. Set the large bowl aside. 
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil starts to simmer (about 2 minutes), dampen your hands and scoop a 1/2 cup of mixture into your palm. Gently shape the batter into a burger while pressing your hands together. If the burger doesn’t hold its shape, add a tablespoon of bread crumbs. 
5. Place burger patty in the oil and cook on medium high for 4 minutes on each side. A golden brown crust should have formed on each side. Serve with avocado, hummus or any other toppings of your choosing. Enjoy!
