We had enough hamburger meat for one person. I didn't want to take more out of the freezer and I decided to make a burger for me too, but used black beans.
I found this recipe on a TOH board. Black beans have always been a favorite and Gabe got to have his red meat and I did a meat free night. Worked out nicely.
Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
2/3 cup dry bread crumbs (used hot chipotle panko)
1 small tomato, seeded and finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 hamburger buns, split
Chopped the garlic and jalapeno on the food processor and then added the beans. Pulsed a few times and then added the tomato and pulsed for another minute.
Transferred to a large bowl and added the panko, cilantro and the egg.
Mix until combined and shape into patties. You should get 4 patties.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook patties in oil in batches over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve on buns. Top with sour cream and guacamole if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
Those really look good, Linda. You know, I've been tempted to try a bean burger but always seem to hesitate. I wonder if Bob would be willing to give it a go? He does love his regular burger-but he's also willing to try new things.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to run this one by him and see what he thinks. How's the texture?
Great texture- added a bit more panko, 2/3 cup didn't seem to be enough. Added a tad more.
DeleteSuper---thanks Linda! :)
DeleteHmmmmm, bean burgers, sound very interesting. I do love beans, so I think I might have to try this out. I guess it is like eating veggie burgers. I don't eat much meat at all, so this might be a welcome change.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea a lot but I have never seen hot chipolte panko. We have lemon pepper and Italian but no chipolte.
ReplyDeleteI will try this. Thank you Linda..
ReplyDeleteI love meatless burgers and this one in the photo looks SO delicious! I will have to try this recipe.
