Ingredients

2 cups of shelled and frozen edamame
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with the liquid
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup finely ground raw cashews
1/2 cup nutritional yeast

1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
1 teaspoon Braggs liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
3 1/2 cups besan flour (chickpea flour)

Directions

1

Place the frozen edamame and the entire can of garbanzo beans, including the liquid in a saucepot to warm. This step is to defrost the edamame, if you use fresh or precooked edamame, you can skip this entire step. Place all ingredients, except the flour and oil into a food processor and puree until smooth. Into a large mixing bowl, pour the contents of the food processor. Slowly add the flour until a thicker consistency is formed. I originally started with 2 cups of flour, but ended up needing 3 1/2 to get the right consistency. Place the entire bowl in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to stiffen up and make it easier to handle when forming the patties. Form into to burger patties. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Freeze any uncooked patties between layers of wax paper. Makes about 16 patties.
