Instructions

In a large mixing bowl mash kidney beans with a potato/food masher.
In the same bowl, add sun-dried tomatoes, cumin powder, crushed red pepper, oregano, salt and panko crumbs. Mix everything with your hands while continuing to mash the kidney beans.
Divide the batter into 4 equal parts. Take one part between your palms and make a round flat patty. Repeat this step for the rest of the dough batter.
Heat a nonstick pan and grease it well. Place the burger patties on it and cook until brown on one side. Flip them over and cook well until brown on the other side. Keep the patties aside on a plate.
Heat oil in the same pan and add the mushrooms to it. Sauté until they change their color and release their juice and start to dry up. Do not dry the mushrooms too much.
As soon as their juice starts to dry up add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes at low-medium heat. Turn off the flame and keep it aside. (Do not overcook mushrooms at this stage).
Place a burger bun on a flat surface and smear the dressing. Place lettuce, onion, and the patty. Top it with sauteed mushrooms. Cover it with another bun and enjoy!
