- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 2 shallots (chopped, ⅔ cup)
- 450 grams mushrooms (shiitake and portobello mix, stems removed and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mirin (or ½ teaspoon maple syrup)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons sriracha (optional more)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 2 cups cooked short-grain brown rice (freshly cooked, sticky for best results*)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (divided)
- Vegan Worcestershire sauce (for brushing)
- Non-stick cooking spray (for grilling)
- Burger buns and desired burger toppings
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Let's get started! First, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until softened. Now add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Continue to sauté patiently until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Add the tamari, vinegar, and mirin. Mix well and add the garlic, smoked paprika, and sriracha, then let it cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine your mushroom mixture, walnuts, flaxseed, brown rice, and half a cup of panko. Pulse until the mixture holds together, but remember to keep some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and mix in the remaining panko.
Now for the fun part! Shape the mixture into 8 patties and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Grill or stovetop? The choice is yours! If grilling, brush the patties with olive oil and grill each side. If using the stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet and fry the patties.
Finally, remove from heat and brush with Worcestershire sauce. Serve with your desired garnishes. Enjoy!
