Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ cup raw walnut halves
  • 1 ¼ cups cooked pearled barley
  • 1 cup cooked pinto or black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, cook the onion and mushrooms until the liquid evaporates (about 15 minutes). Add garlic, thyme, and smoked paprika; cook for another 2–3 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a food processor, pulse walnuts until coarsely crumbled. Add mushroom mixture, barley, beans, nutritional yeast, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper; process until just combined.
  4. Form patties using about ½ cup of mixture each; brush with Worcestershire sauce if desired.
  5. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. For pan-searing: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook patties for about 5 minutes per side until charred.
