Instructions
Soak dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for 15 minutes.
Place pecans on a baking sheet and toast at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
In a food processor, combine reconstituted mushrooms (saving the water), toasted pecans, cooked brown rice, hemp seeds, panko bread crumbs, onion, liquid smoke, amino acids, onion powder, garlic powder, maple syrup, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined. Add mushroom water, one tablespoon at a time, if necessary for desired consistency. You should be able to form a patty, but the patty will be slightly sticky.
Form into 8 burgers. Place burgers on parchment paper with parchment paper between each patty. Freeze for 30 min.
Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Spray with olive oil. Cook for 4 minutes per side. Serve with your favorite fixings and enjoy!
