Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and finely chop them.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. SautΓ© the onions for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and it has mostly evaporated.
Stir in the soy sauce, ground cumin, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to incorporate the flavors. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained chickpeas and mash them using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
Add the mushroom mixture, chickpea flour, chopped parsley, egg, and optional red pepper flakes to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
With clean hands, shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and firm.
Serve the savory mushroom patties hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
