Ingredients

• 250 grams Mushrooms
• 400 grams Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 60 grams Chickpea flour
• 1 None Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 None Egg
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and finely chop them.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the garlic and chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and it has mostly evaporated.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce, ground cumin, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to incorporate the flavors. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, add the drained chickpeas and mash them using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.

Step 6

Add the mushroom mixture, chickpea flour, chopped parsley, egg, and optional red pepper flakes to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

With clean hands, shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

Step 8

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and firm.

Step 9

Serve the savory mushroom patties hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
