Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked lentils Or dry, but you'll need to cook
  • 1 8oz package of mushrooms I use white or button
  • 1/2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 green onion chopped, green part only
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar you can also use white or red white vinegar
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • food processor or blender for pulsing

Method
 

  1. If you haven't cooked the lentils, start there. Otherwise, start by giving the mushrooms a large chop. Saute them over medium head with the onion and a large dash of salt for about 7 minutes, touching as little as possible.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste and miso. It won't completely break down, just get everything coated.
  3. Add the mushrooms, green onion, and lentils to a blender or food processor and give it a few pulses. You want to break it down a bit, but be careful not to puree it. You want it a little chunky.
  4. Add this mixture to a bowl with a little more salt and pepper. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, and egg. Stir through the breadcrumbs last.
  5. Form into 4 patties. If you have time to refirdgerate, even for 15 minutes, do it. If not start cooking. Cook in a greased pan over medium heat for about 4 minutes per side. Until browned and slightly crispy.
