Mushroom Veggie Burger

This is no doubt the world's perfect mushroom burger.  Best I can tell this originated from the weheartfood.com blog under the posting of Lisa's Mushroom Burger. 

This one came from Chef John's site.  I adapted it by using Panko instead of traditional breadcrumbs and serving atop low carb sandwich thins instead of hamburger rolls.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 pounds mushrooms, roughly chopped (combination of crimini, shiitake, and portobello)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion

Method:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan.  Saute the mushrooms, onions and garlic over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until liquid boils off, and the mushrooms begin to saute.
• In a large bowl, add mushroom mixture to oats, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Allow to sit for 15 minutes to develop the flavors.
• Shape into patties. Heat 2 tbsp oil in large non-stick skillet, over medium heat.
• Fry patties, cooking about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
• Serve over toasted sandwich thins.
