  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately eight burgers 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small onion
  • 16 ounces cremini mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ cup walnut halves
  • 1 ¼ cups cooked pearled barley
  • 1 cup cooked pinto or black beans
  • 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons vegan worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté chopped onion and sliced mushrooms in a large pan over medium-low heat until liquid evaporates, about 15 minutes. Add minced garlic, thyme, and paprika; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a food processor, pulse walnuts until coarsely crumbled. Combine sautéed mixture with barley, beans, nutritional yeast, vegan worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper; process until chunky.
  4. Shape the mixture into patties using about ½ cup per patty—yields approximately eight burgers.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes on the prepared baking sheet, flipping halfway through.
  6. For a crispy texture, pan-sear in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side after baking.
