Ingredients
  • 1 tbs coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, diced
  • 1 tbs ground flax seeds
  • 1 cup cooked beans
  • 1 cup cooked lentils
  • 1 tbs tamari
  • 1 tbs liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • optional- 2 tbs nutritional yeast
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a baking sheet.
  2. Heat coconut oil in pan at medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and mushrooms and sauté 7-10 minuets (until onions are translucent).
  3. Prepare flax "egg" by combining flax seeds with 3 tbs warm water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before using.
  4. Combine garlic/onion mixture in a large bowl with beans and lentils. Using an immersion blender, blend until 75% smooth. I like to leave a little texture. Stir in remaining ingredients (including flax egg).
  5. Wet hands and form mixture into patties ½"- 1" thick.
  6. Place patties on baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping halfway. Enjoy right away, store in refrigerator for 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
