Mushroom Black Bean Burgers
Written By Kayla Seah
I’m always looking for ways to replace meat in the kitchen, sometimes it’s a fail but most times I’m incredibly satisfied with the results. This is one of those times that was a complete success and even had my boyfriend stating “you don’t even miss the meat with these.” Ta-dah, I knew I nailed it with that statement. The portobello mushrooms create a nice meaty texture and spices add a smoky flavour that really takes on that burger essence. I served these up without a bun for myself, just some avocado and a side salad for a fresher version. For my guy, caramelized onions, chipotle yogurt sauce on a multi grain bun.
