preparation
➊ For the Mojo Verde, roughly chop the cilantro and parsley. Deseed the bell peppers and cut them into small pieces. Peel and finely chop the garlic (yes, that's 10 cloves!). Blend them in a food processor with the thyme, sea salt, pepper, and red wine vinegar. Then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Finally, stir in the chili pepper.
➋ Soak the black beans overnight, then cook them in salted water. Drain and cool, then mash them in a bowl with the remaining ingredients to form a mixture that can be shaped into patties. Roll them out thinly, trim them into shape, and cook them on a plancha.
➌ Sauté the oyster mushrooms. Toast the bread halves and spread them with mojo verde. Place the mushrooms on the bottom half, top with avocado and tomato slices, and finish with the cheese slices and the top half of the patty.
