Step 1

In a food processor add the black beans, onions, garlic, the roasted mushrooms, cumin, parsley, tahini and pulse until combined. This is like 3-4 pulses ONLY. Do not over process.

Step 2

If you do not have a food processor, you can use a large medium bowl and mash ingredients with a fork. Again, don’t go crazy.

Step 3

In a large bowl add the processed ingredients and add the nutritional yeast, bread crumbs or wheat germ and salt to taste.

Step 4

Mix into the mashed beans, until mixture sticks together but try to not mash much further. Add more crumbs or wheat germ as needed.

Step 5

Divide mixture into patties.

Step 6

If grilling, cook for a few minutes on skillet or pan on each side to help prevent these guys from sticking to your BBQ/grill. It is helpful to cook these guys on the grill on top of a piece of foil.

Step 7

Grill for about 5-8 minutes on each side.

Step 8

If frying or using a skillet, cook on an oiled pan for about 8 minutes on each side.

Step 9

If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes on each side.
