Instructions:
-
Prepare Vegetables: In a large saucepan, combine the celery, carrot, garlic, onion, oregano, basil, and tarragon. SautΓ© the mixture in olive oil over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and aromatic.
-
-
Cook Mushrooms: Add the cremini mushrooms to the saucepan and continue to cook until all the liquid released by the mushrooms evaporates. This will intensify the flavor of the mushrooms.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture with pearl barley, rolled oats, pecans, tahini, soy sauce, and seeds and nuts of your choice. Toss everything together until well combined.
-
Chill the Mixture: Cover the mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours. Chilling the mixture helps it to firm up and makes it easier to shape into patties.
-
Form Patties: Once the mixture has chilled, take it out of the refrigerator and form it into 5 or 6 equal-sized patties. Press the mixture firmly to ensure the patties hold together well during cooking.
-
Cooking Options:
- Pan-Fry: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Bake: Alternatively, you can bake the patties on a lightly greased baking sheet in a preheated 375Β°F (190Β°C) oven for 25 minutes, turning them once halfway through cooking.
-
Serve: Once cooked to your liking, serve the mushroom burgers hot with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and any other condiments you desire. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
