Portobello Spinach Veggie Burgers

While in NC on vacation, my brother served veggie burgers at a cookout on our last day there. They were a store-bought brand but I really liked them! When I got home last week and was planning our meals for thee week, I was craving them again and decided to make my own version.

These portobello spinach veggie burgers were born! The ingredients of the store brand had mushrooms and beans so I started with that base and just added some of my favorite ingredients and the panko bread crumbs and eggs to hold them together better. I started with 1/2 cup of panko but they weren’t holding together quite enough. So I ended up adding in about a 1/2 cup more.

I served them with one of our new favorites, Roasted Corn Orzo Pasta Salad.

Ingredients for Veggie Burgers with Portobello Mushrooms

1/4 cup onion, chopped small

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups fresh spinach,chopped

2 cups portabella mushrooms, chopped

2 cans black beans, rinsed

1 TBSP Worcestershire

1 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning

3 large eggs, beaten

3/4 – 1 cup Panko bread crumbs

1/2 cup crumbled feta

1 TBSP coconut oil or olive oil

How to Make Veggie Burgers

In a large skillet, melt coconut oil over medium heat.

Add onions and garlic and sauté for 5-6 minutes or until translucent.

Add in the spinach and cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Remove spinach from heat and allow to cool.

In a large bowl add 1 can of black beans and mash them with a fork.

Then add in the chopped mushrooms, additional can of beans, Worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning.

Add in eggs, panko, feta and cooled onion & spinach mixture.

Mix until combined well.

Form into 8 – 10 patties. I roll them into a small ball the press them into a patty.

Add enough coconut oil or olive oil to the bottom of a saute pan and heat to medium-high.

When the oil is hot, add the patties keeping a small space between them so they do not stick together.

Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

Then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Place patties on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, flip and continue baking for another 10 or until they are golden brown and crispy.

ENJOY!!
