WHITE BEAN BURGERS



White Bean Burgers image

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.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, burgers, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 patties

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
2 to 3 large garlic cloves (to taste), green shoots removed, minced
2/3 cup finely grated carrot
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons minced fresh sage or thyme
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Whole grain hamburger buns and the condiments of your choice

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.

Tips:

  • Use canned beans. Canned beans are a convenient and affordable way to add protein and fiber to your burgers. Be sure to rinse and drain them before using.
  • Mash the beans well. This will help the burgers hold together better. You can use a potato masher or a food processor to mash the beans.
  • Add plenty of flavorings. Beans can be a bit bland on their own, so be sure to add plenty of flavorings to your burgers. Some good options include onions, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcook the burgers. Bean burgers are best when they are cooked through but still moist. Overcooking them will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings. Some good options include lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Bean burgers are a delicious, healthy, and affordable alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are perfect for vegetarians and vegans, or for anyone who is looking for a healthier option. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious bean burgers that your whole family will love.
