Prepare the seasoning according to your taste and set aside. You don't have to use all of it to season the patties.
Add the black eyed peas, chopped mushrooms, seasoning mix and tomato paste to a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix thoroughly. Add more flour if needed to hold together.
Portion and form into patties. I get four burger sized patties from this mix.
Let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or longer.
When ready to cook cover the bottom of a large skillet with oil and heat until shimmering.
Transfer the patties to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Allow to cook undisturbed until they release easily from the pan. Flip and cook the other side. Mine took 8 minutes per side.
Serve with your favorite toppings.
