Nutrient-Dense Veggie Burgers

4 portobello mushrooms, sliced

1 cup of shiitake mushrooms, chopped

2 onions, chopped

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup of brown rice

2 cups of water

2 organic eggs

1 block of firm tofu

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

2 tablespoons of miso paste

1 cup of breadcrumbs

Sea salt

pepper

Saute mushrooms and garlic with olive oil over medium-high heat until

mushrooms lose their moisture and onions begin to caramelize. Add

minced garlic and stir while cooking for another minute or two.

Add brown rice, water, and soy sauce. Cover with a lid and cook until

the brown rice has absorbed all of the water. Then, let mixture cool.

Transfer rice and mushroom mixture into a food processor. Add organic

eggs, tofu, miso paste, breadcrumbs, sea salt, and pepper. Process

until all ingredients are smooth.

Use your hands to form mixture into patties. Refrigerate patties until

they become firm.

Cook patties over medium-high meat with olive oil until golden and

cooked to desired consistency.

Enjoy this delicious, nutrient-dense veggie burger recipe! Try it with

fresh tomato and red onion slices, leafy lettuce, and your favorite

variety of mustard, with or without a whole grain bun.
