2 Tbsps ground flax seed
5 Tbsps water
8 oz chopped mushrooms
1 fifteen oz can of chickpeas
salt & pepper to taste
2 Tbsps tomato paste
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp olive oil

Add remaining ingredients to your food processor. Make your flax egg the last ingredient you add to your food processor, this will give it enough time to congeal.

Once you have the right consistency, cover with Saran Wrap or cling wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
