Serves 4 – 6

Ingredients

15ml odourless coconut oil or avocado oil

1 small red onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, crushed

250g white button mushrooms, finely diced

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

5ml miso paste

45g fresh parsley, chopped

salt and pepper

2ml cayenne pepper

60g parmesan cheese, finely grated (or vegan cheese)

1 – 1½ cups mashed potato

1 cup panko crumbs or rye breadcrumbs

2 eggs

odourless coconut oil or avocado oil, for shallow frying

TO SERVE

balsamic-roasted vine tomatoes

avocado wedges, grilled

red tomato-based chutney

Method

1 Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.

2 Place the mushrooms in a food processor and blitz until fine. Add the mushrooms to the onions and fry for 3 minutes.

3 Mash the beans with a fork or blitz in a food processor.

4 Transfer the mushroom mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the mashed beans, miso paste, parsley, salt and pepper, cayenne pepper, parmesan, mashed potato, breadcrumbs and eggs.

5 Mix together well and shape the mixture into patties. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
