  • Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
3/4 tbsp butter1 cup onions, sweet1 clove garlic, minced1/4 cup scallions, minced1/2 tsp cumin1 cup diced fresh mushrooms15 oz can Pinto Beans (Rinse these before using)1 tsp parsley, finely mincedsalt and pepper to taste2 tbsp Canola oil (for frying)
Directions
Sautee the garlic and chopped onions in a frying pan, until onions are soft (approx. 3-5 minutes). Then add scallions, mushrooms and cumin; continue cooking until mushrooms are soft and cooked (approx. 5 minutes).

While the mixture above is cooking, strain pinto beans in a mesh strainer and rinse well with cold water. After straining, put beans into a bowl and mash with a potato masher (if you don't have a masher, then you can also put them into a food processor to soften and mash them).

When the mushroom mixture is cooked, add it to the mashed beans in a bowl; also add in parsley. Mix well. Form into hand-made patties.

Heat the canola oil in a frying pan (I used the same pan as for the mushroom mixture), and then cook each patty for approx. 3 minutes each side. (I cooked mine for about a minute and a half each side- I guess it depends how hot your oil is....Just cook them until they look nice and browned on each side)

Makes approx. 5 patties.

    Pretty good! I don't like that the patties fall apart easily but the taste made up for that... - 3/24/11

    Hello there! I read your comments at the beginning of the recipe and just thought I'd let you know that butter is not a vegan food since vegans eat no animal products. I haven't made the burgers yet, but they sound yummy! - 10/10/10
