    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 ½ cup of panko but they weren’t holding together quite enough. So I ended up adding in about a ½ cup more.

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

    Ingredients for Veggie Burgers with Portobello Mushrooms

    ¼ cup onion, chopped small

    4 cloves garlic, minced

    2 cups fresh spinach,chopped

    2 cups portabella mushrooms, chopped

    2 cans black beans, rinsed

    1 tablespoon Worcestershire

    1 teaspoon Montreal Steak Seasoning

    3 large eggs, beaten

    ¾ – 1 cup Panko bread crumbs

    ½ cup crumbled feta

    1 tablespoon 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!!

      I love the flavor that mushrooms add to vegetables; it makes them so meaty but without using any meat! These look delicious. I am always looking for more veggie burgers to add to my repertoire.
