Hint

These cannot be grilled as like most veggie burgers, they will fall apart. You can, however, place a cast-iron skillet on the grill and cook them outdoors that way. Adapted from "howsweeteats.com"


Directions

Step 1. 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray. Spread the black beans on one sheet in a single layer.  Spread the chopped mushrooms on the other sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper.  Roast the beans and mushrooms for 12 to 15 minutes, until the beans split open and the mushrooms cook down.


Step 2. 

While the beans and mushrooms are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil, diced onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes.  Pulse the cashews and oats in the food processor until they are finely chopped. 


Step 3. 

In a large bowl, stir together the mayo, egg yolk, chili powder, honey and smoked paprika. Stir in the sautéed onion mixture, cooked barley and quinoa, the beans and the mushrooms. Add in the oats and the cashews. Use a potato masher or fork to smash the mixture together until it is somewhat combined. Take 1/3 of the mixture and place it back in the food processor. Pulse it a few times until it’s all very finely chopped and combined, then transfer it back to the large bowl. Stir in the cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Mix everything together by hand until combined.


Step 4. 

Form the mixture into patties or burgers (4 or 6 patties - or even smaller for sliders) You can stick the patties in the fridge until it’s time to use them.

When you’re ready to cook, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a high heat oil – like canola, grapeseed or coconut. Once the oil is hot, add the patties and cook them for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Be gentle when flipping to ensure they don’t fall apart! A minute or so before removing them from the skillet, add a slice of cheddar on top so it melts.

Serve on buns with condiments of choice.
