 Ingredients

1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 small red onion, shredded and squeezed dry (about 1/2 cup)

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

1 small carrot, finely diced

1 cup plain breadcrumbs (gluten free if desired)

2 scallions, white and green parts, finely chopped

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire or soy sauce

Salt and pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cups assorted mushrooms, sliced

4 vegan hamburger buns, split and toasted

Veganaise, vegan garlic aioli and/or ketchup and mustard, for garnish

Baby spinach or arugula, for garnish

Sliced tomatoes

Sliced avocado

Directions

Smash the beans in a bowl with a potato masher or fork until slightly chunky. Add the onion, walnuts, carrot, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, scallions, parsley and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce . Season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands until combined.

Spread the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs on a plate. Form the bean mixture into 4 patties; lightly coat with the breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until golden and slightly crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the burgers to a plate.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and the remaining 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce; season with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms are slightly wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve the burgers on the buns with veganaise, aioli and/or ketchup and mustard, baby greens and mushrooms.Feel free to add tomatoes and/or avocado too!
