8 oz (227 g) sliced mushrooms<br />
3 Tbsp (45 ml) <strong>Epicure</strong>’s Smoky Ranch Dip Mix<br />

and rinsed<br />

2 cups (500 ml) shredded cabbage<br />
1 carrot, grated<br />
½ recipe prepared <strong>Epicure</strong>’s Smoky Ranch Dip<br />
1. Tear toast into small pieces. Whirl in a<br />
food processor until coarse crumbs form.<br />
Set aside.<br />
2. Heat oil in <strong>Epicure</strong>’s Eclipse ® Coated<br />
Professional Frying Pan over mediumhigh<br />
heat. Add onion, mushrooms and<br />
<strong>Epicure</strong>'s seasonings. Stir often for 6-8<br />
minutes, until mushrooms are soft. Drain<br />
any remaining liquid, as the mixture<br />
should be as dry as possible.<br />
3. Pour mixture into food processor and<br />
add beans. Pulse until combined, but<br />
slightly chunky. Scrape into a bowl and<br />
stir in breadcrumbs and feta. Form into<br />
patties. If you have time, refrigerate<br />
patties a few hours before cooking so<br />
they hold their shape.<br />
4. Heat Frying Pan over medium heat. Add<br />
patties and cook for 5 minutes, then<br />
carefully and gently flip over. Continue to<br />
cook for 5 more minutes.<br />
5. For the slaw, stir cabbage and carrot<br />
with Smoky Ranch Dip. Spoon over<br />
cooked burgers and serve.<br />
