Veg to the E "Burgers"

I tossed these together today for lunch.


1 onion(the size is up to you), chopped
2 portabella mushroom caps(or about 1 1/2 cups), Chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 15 oz. can refried beans(if you are not eating animal bi-products make sure you get lard free beans!)
1 cup TVP(textured vegetable protein), Rehydrated(see package)
1-2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 cup flour
You can saute the onions and mushrooms but it's not necessary. If you decide not to the onions will just be a little crunchy. The mixture should be sticky but not gloppy.
In about 2 tablespoons of olive oil fry these babies up, about 5 min each side on med/low heat.
Makes 8-10 "burgers". Serve on whole grain buns with lettuce and tomato...Yum!

  2. I'm so glad you liked them! These are the ones you didn't put the mushrooms in, right?
    How was the consistency? were they hard to cook up?
