Next time I will skip the parmesan cheese - a lot of money for no payoff. add fresh parsley and maybe a few veggies(finely shredded carrots? celery?) and bake in a loaf pan.

Great job. I love that you don't fo...Hi John,<br /><br />Great job. I love that you don't fool with nonsense like TVP and worry about gluten free, etc.<br /><br />I prefer to be as vegan as I can - but - hell - sometimes you just need a binder.<br /><br />I also resented people's variations. But have to admit, I too made a few. I wanted some walnuts in my diet and thought it a good way to incorporate some. So I added a half cup. I also used Romano rather than Parmesan as that is what I had on hand and what I typically use (I'm southern Italian and tend to prefer its saltiness). I also used quick cooking steal cut oats as that too was on hand.<br /><br />Lastly, I added a T of roasted sesame oil.<br /><br />These patties stayed together brilliantly and were really a great success which I attribute to you. My sense is your recipe as it stood would have been perfect. My changes were, with respect, only minimal due to personal preferences and as a result of what I had.<br /><br />Nice job, well done - cheers!<br /><br />Alicealice dicrocehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375909732415670511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-66498661876483820442015-06-09T14:52:33.943-04:002015-06-09T14:52:33.943-04:00till making these as my go-to veggie burger. Proba...till making these as my go-to veggie burger. Probably made them at least 50 times for vegetarians and meat-eaters... they are universally loved.<br /><br />Definitely chill for a few hours if you have time. I find myself often adding an extra egg and a more meltable cheese if I'm having trouble with good binding. <br /><br />The only other tip, if it's not been mentioned, is to cut the mushrooms into chunks before cooking. You don't want to mess with cutting hot mushrooms if you can help it - it's a mess. <br /><br />As to the above poster - I've done them on the grill in a basket with foil and canola oil. They turned out okay, but these are IMO better served when prepared in a skillet on the stove.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865276170195530393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-90688467531950245142014-05-06T14:52:48.216-04:002014-05-06T14:52:48.216-04:00Hi Chef John, do you think these can stand up to c...Hi Chef John, do you think these can stand up to charcoal grilling?

...Devin and everyone else, here are the directions:<br /><br />1. In a saucepan, saute the mushrooms, garlic, and onion together. Add a<br />pinch of salt.<br />2. When not quite dry, add oregano.<br />3. When all the liquid dries and they get a little color, take them out.<br />4. Place the mushrooms into a large bowl. Add oats, breadcrumbs, salt,<br />pepper and mix. When mixed, stir in Parmesan. After thoroughly combined,<br />add beaten eggs.<br />5. Allow to sit for 15min or refrigerate for next day.<br />6. When ready, form into patties<br />7. Fry patties in olive oil 5-6 mins/side.<br /><br />As WitchyWoman said on 1/16/11, and others who have commented here, change things up! If you're feeling adventurous (or bored of the same old recipe), don't be afraid to make smart substitutions for the spicing (instead of the oregano, I've substituted churizo spice mix), in another recipe I added a cup of blackbeans, in another, corn kernals, and often substitute other kinds of hard cheese. Chef John has created a WONDERFUL burger recipe for which my wife and I thank him! We ALWAYS make a double batch and keep a bunch on hand in the freezer, ready to go.

I wound up eating bits and pieces of my "burger" with a fork.<br /><br />Still, this had great taste, and I wanted to perfect the burger. the second time, I ran the cooked mushrooms and onions through a meat grinder. The consistency was more like ground beef for sure. I needed to use more breadcrumbs, but the patty stuck together surprisingly well.

I've tried a few other recipes but was never happy til I found yours. All the ingredients are available locally, and it was simple & easy to prepare. LOVED it!! Even my non-veg friend enjoyed it.<br /><br />I have a Mexican friend that is a fellow vegetarian and loved em so much that she's thinking about making em and selling at local festivals & such.
