Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: One 15-ounce can black beans, drained; 1 teaspoon cumin seeds; Olive oil, to coat pan; 1 small Spanish onion diced; Kosher salt; 4 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped; 1 pound portobello and shiitake mix, stem and gills removed and finely chopped; 1/2 to 3/4 cup cracker crumbs, such as Saltine; 1 to 2 large eggs, to bind; 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire; 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon; 8 slices American cheese; 1 whole dill pickle, small dice; Splash pickle juice from jar; 1/2 cup store-bought mayo; 1/2 cup ketchup; Sandwich-size English muffins, toasted; Red onion, sliced; Pickle rounds; Iceberg lettuce, shredded

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

For the patties: Lay the beans on a sheet pan in a single layer and dry out in the oven for 15 minutes.

Toast the cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium-low heat until aromatic, and then grind in a spice grinder and reserve.

Add olive oil to coat a cast-iron skillet and sweat the onions over medium heat with a pinch of salt, a couple of minutes. Then add the garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the mushrooms with a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, a couple of minutes. Add to a food processor the sautéed veggies, dried beans, ground toasted cumin, 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs, 1 egg, smoked paprika, Worcestershire and Dijon and pulse to combine. Add the additional egg and more cracker crumbs if the mixture isn’t holding together when pressed.

Divide the mixture evenly to form 4 patties. Add olive oil to coat a cast-iron skillet. When hot, cook the patties a few minutes per side. Top each patty with 2 slices of cheese and place in the oven on a sheet tray to melt. 

For the pickle mayo: Mix in a bowl the diced pickles, pickle juice, mayo and ketchup.

To serve: Top the English muffins with pickle mayo, patties, sliced red onion, pickle rounds and iceberg lettuce.
