Ingredients
For the patties:
- 1 1/4 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 cups portobello or Swiss brown mushrooms finely diced
- 1/2 Spanish red onion finely diced
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 4 tbsp almonds
- 1 tbsp wholemeal breadcrumbs

- Sliced tomato
- Sliced red onion

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

- In a food processor, pulse almonds into a coarse meal.
- Add cooked rice, sautéed mushrooms and onions, flaxseed, breadcrumbs, BBQ sauce, liquid smoke (if using), smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Pulse until well combined but still retaining some texture.
- Form mixture into 4 patties and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy on the outside and firm to the touch.
- Toast the sourdough buns.
