Instructions
- Reconstitute the mushrooms according to the package directions. Drain them and squeeze out excess moisture with a paper towel.
- Give the onion and bell pepper a rough chop and put them in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the stem off the jalapeno, and slice it, seeds and all. Add it to the processor along with the mushrooms. Pulse the machine about 12 times.
- Add the beans and pulse 8 more times. Scrape down the sides of the machine, and pulse another 8 times.
- Add in the crumbs, the egg, the quinoa, the Worcestershire sauce, salts, and pepper. Pulse about 12 times until everything is combined but still has texture.
- Use a 1/2 cup measure to scoop out the mixture and form into burgers. Separate the burgers with waxed paper, and cover with plastic wrap. Put in the refrigerator to chill until needed.
- To cook the burgers, coat the bottom of a pan with olive oil and heat until hot. Fry the burgers for about 7-10 minutes per side, on a medium heat. Flatten the burgers with your spatula if they are on the thick side.
- Make the chipotle mayo by mixing the mayonnaise with the sauce from the chiles, to taste.
- Serve up your burgers with all the traditional fixings.
