Truffled Burger Patty (Veg)

Prepare Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
• Add cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, truffle oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed black beans.

Mix Thoroughly:

• Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be cohesive enough to form patties. If it’s too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if it’s too dry, you can add a little water.

Shape the Patties:

• Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. You can make them as thick or as thin as you prefer.

Cook the Patties:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve:

• Serve the truffle vegetarian burger patties on your favourite buns and add your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments.

Optional: Additional Toppings:

• For an extra truffle kick, you can drizzle a little more truffle oil on the cooked patties before serving.
