Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
The black bean burger is a beloved classic of vegetarian cuisine, and for good reason. Beans are rich in protein and fibre, with a dense, creamy texture that makes a perfect base for a filling patty. Smoked paprika and cumin lend a depth recalling meat dishes. This dish proves meat-free eating is no compromise.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse beans thoroughly and drain. Put in a bowl and crush roughly, leaving some whole.

Tip: Excess moisture is the burger's enemy, so drying is important. Chunky consistency makes biting more exciting.
2 ✓

Chop onion, garlic and pepper very finely, then sauté until soft in a spoon of oil.

Tip: We evaporate some veg moisture by cooking, so they don't soak the patty from inside [Water removal].
3 ✓

Mix fried vegetables, oats, breadcrumbs, egg and spices into beans. Work into a mass.

Tip: Egg and oats work as glue holding crumbly beans together.
4 ✓

With wet hands form 4 patties, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Tip: Cold sets the mass, making it easier to handle in the pan.
5 ✓

Fry patties on medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until crisp crust forms.

Tip: Turn carefully as it's more fragile than meat.
6 ✓

Assemble burger in toasted bun with fresh vegetables and sauces.

Tip: Toasting bun is key here too for textures.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the inside too soft?
Beans must be drained very thoroughly, even dried with kitchen paper. If still soft, add more oats.
Can egg be replaced?
Yes, with a mix of 1 tbsp ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water (flax egg) to make it vegan.
