- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 250 g Mushrooms - I used chestnut, but whatever you have, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic - cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- ⅛ cup Black Olives - finely chopped, about 6 or 7
- ½ Onion - small, peeled and finely chopped
- ½ cup Water
- 1 cup TVP
- ¼ cup Nutritional Yeast
- ½ cup Wholemeal Flour - use gluten free if needed
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper - ground
- ¼ tsp Liquid Smoke
In a frying pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic until soft and the mushrooms have reduced right down.
Add the ½ cup of water and the TVP, stir well, then remove from the heat and place mixture in a mixing bowl to cool.
Once cool, add the other ingredients and mix well.
Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes, then form into four equal size patties.
Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan, and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, or until dark golden brown. Alternatively, oil each patty on both sides and grill on a BBQ.
Place in a bun and serve!
