JAMIE OLIVER'S VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS
Beans have been a staple in the human diet for more than 4,000 years, and in recent history, they've formed the foundation of countless vegetarian burgers. There are white bean burgers, kidney bean burgers and a plethora of other veggie burgers. Most have two things in common: beans and binders. This version from the chef Jamie Oliver's new book "Ultimate Veg" (Flatiron Books, 2020) combines black beans, rye bread, fresh mushrooms and ground coriander. Mr. Oliver tops his burgers with tangy yogurt, mangoes and salsa, but these crisp, oven-roasted patties are equally delicious with just lettuce and ketchup.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel and roughly chop 1 onion, then place it in a food processor. Add the mushrooms and pulse until just finely chopped. (Be careful not to overprocess into a paste.) Transfer mixture to a large bowl and wipe out the bowl of the food processor. Add torn bread to the processor, pulse until it forms fine crumbs, then transfer crumbs to the mushroom mixture.
- Add black beans and coriander, season well with salt and pepper, then mix together until thoroughly combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into 1-inch-thick patties. Rub all over with oil and dust with ground coriander, then place on an oiled baking sheet.
- Roast patties until dark and crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle the burgers with the Cheddar. Let burgers cool slightly to firm up. While the burgers cool, transfer the buns to the hot oven and heat for a few minutes until toasted.
- Meanwhile, peel and very finely chop the remaining 1/2 onion. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes. Zest the lime on top, then halve the lime and squeeze lime juice on top, to taste. Add a few shakes of hot sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pit, peel and finely slice the mango and avocado.
- Spread the yogurt on the bases of the rolls or buns, then top with half the salsa, the mango and the avocado. Add the burgers, the remaining salsa, extra Tabasco and cilantro leaves, then pop the lids on, press down lightly and serve immediately.
WHITE BEAN BURGERS
These have a delicate texture and a wonderful savory taste. They're a little tricky to turn, as they can fall apart. Don't make them too thick and use an offset spatula, and it will be easier for you. They should be cooked on a flat griddle or pan; don't try to grill them on a barbecue.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium-size skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, the garlic and the grated carrot, and continue to cook for another minute or two, until fragrant and the carrot has softened slightly. Remove from the heat.
- In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, puree the beans with the lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the onion mixture, the parsley, sage or thyme, the bread crumbs and the egg. Season to taste. Shape into patties, ½- to ¾-inch thick. Set on a parchment-covered baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet or on a griddle over medium heat and brown the patties for 4 minutes on each side, being very careful when you turn them over. An offset spatula works well for this. Serve on whole grain buns, with the condiments of your choice.

- Mash the beans well. This will help to bind the burgers together.
- Add plenty of spices and herbs. This will give your burgers a lot of flavor.
- Use a good quality breadcrumb. This will help to absorb moisture and keep the burgers from falling apart.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and avocado.
