Ingredients
Scale
- 6 burger buns
Patties:
- 6 portobello mushrooms (roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cup cooked pearl barley
- 1/2 cup hazelnut or almond meal (flour)
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry or water
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon oregano
Sriracha miso mayonnaise:
- 1 1/2 tablespoon awase or white miso paste
- 5 tablespoons mayonnaise OR vegan mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Toppings:
- dill pickles
- sliced red onion
- sliced tomatoes
- baby kale or arugula leaves
Instructions
- In a pan over high heat, add olive oil and mushrooms and cook until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated (about 7 minutes – you may need to cook mushrooms in 2 separate batches.)
- Put mushrooms and all the other ingredients for the patties in a blender and pulse until well blended (it should almost look like a thick paste).
- Dust a plate with a little flour (about 2 tbsp). Shape mixture into 5 or 6 patties and put lay them over the plate with flour (you can use a little oil instead of flour if you are gluten intolerant – this prevents the patties from sticking to the plate.)
- Put in the fridge for half an hour to let the mixture set.
- Add a little oil into a large pan over high heat and cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side (until golden brown).
- Serve with buns, sri racha miso mayo and all the other burger toppings.
Notes
If the patties are too soft to shape, return part of the mixture into a blended and add more barley (you can also try with breadcrumbs) – Add one tablespoon at a time until you get the desired consistency.
Cooking Pearl Barley:
Bring 1 cup barley and 2 1/2 cups water or broth to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, covered, until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Makes 3-3 1/2 cups.
