Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 C (60g) Walnuts (shelled)
1/2 C (50g) Rolled Oats (not quick cook or instant)
2 Tbs Tomato Paste
1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce*
1 tsp Adobo Sauce (2 for extra spicy, gluten free if needed)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
3/4 tsp Garlic Salt
2 tsp Yellow Mustard
1 tsp Vegan Worcestershire Sauce (regular or gluten free (Tamari may be used instead))
1/4 tsp Liquid Smoke (gluten free if needed)
2 1/3 C (420g) Cooked Black Beans (drained & rinsed (2 cans or homemade), divided)
1/2 C (100g) Cooked Short Grain Brown Rice (divided (be sure to use short grain, it makes a difference - not instant))
1 tsp Vegetable Oil (coconut or olive oil + more for cooking the patties)
1 C (100g) Yellow Onion (diced)
3 Tbs Vegetable Oil (I like coconut or olive)
3 (745g) Large Sweet Onions like Walla Walla or Vidalia (sliced into thin 1/2 moons)
1/3 C (75g) Bourbon* (or sub veggie broth)
1 1/2 Tbs Maple Syrup
1 1/2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
Mashed Avocado (with a pinch of salt)
Pickled Sweet & Spicy Peppers
Mayo
Pickled Banana Peppers

Steps:

  • In a nonstick pan, dry-toast the walnuts on medium heat, tossing and flipping them for about four minutes. Remove from heat and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the oats, tomato paste, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, sea and garlic salt, mustard, worchestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Process until pasty. A few chunks are fine. Add 1/2 the black beans, and 1/2 the rice. Pulse until the mixture comes together, scraping down as needed. Set aside.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a pan on medium. When shimmering, add the diced onion and cook on medium for about three minutes. A bit of charring is okay. Remove from heat and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 of the black beans and rice to the mixing bowl. Into the large mixing bowl, add the processed bean/spice mixture. Using your hands, mix thoroughly squeezing and pushing the mixture together.
  • Use a 1/2 cup (130g) scoop (this yields 6 patties - the last patty is slightly smaller) or 1/3 cup (82g) scoop (this yields 8 patties) to portion the patties. Roll them into a ball. Using the back of a metal measuring cup, press each ball into a patty using gentle pressure about 1/4"- 1/2" (.6 - 1.2 cm) thick.
  • Place the patties flat on a parchment lined sheet pan in refrigerator for at least one hour. To Freeze (optional): slide the pan in the freezer for one hour then stack the patties between pieces of parchment paper and into a freezer bag for longer storage. Now is a good time to get the boozy onions going (see below).
  • Preheat the oven to 200F (95C) and line a sheet-pan with parchment paper. Place the pan in the oven. This will keep the patties warm after they're cooked.
  • In the Skillet: Add two to three Tbs of coconut oil to a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Heat until shimmering. Add three patties. Be sure to give them plenty of room. Cook for 3 1/2 - 4 minutes on each side, being careful when flipping the patty. Slide the patty on the parchment lined sheet pan in the oven. Sprinkle with sea salt. Finish cooking the remaining patties adding more oil as needed.OROn the Gas Grill: Clean grill and oil with vegetable oil (like canola or olive oil). Heat gas grill on highest setting. Brush both sides of the veggie burger with oil and gently transfer to the grilling grates or a grill pan (use a grill pan if the grates of your grill are thin). Cook for about four to five minutes on each side, taking care when flipping the burgers. Adjust heat as needed so that the burgers don't burn.
  • To keep warm, transfer the patties to the preheated oven.
  • In a large pan, add the coconut oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook on medium-low for about 35-40 minutes, to caramelize them, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat as necessary so they don't burn. When done they'll be golden and very soft.
  • Turn off heat, remove from heat (we do not want alcohol near an open flame) and stir in the bourbon (or veggie broth), maple syrup, vinegar and mustard. Stir. Bring to a simmer on medium low for about two minutes, to simmer off the liquids. Remove from heat and put a lid on the pan until ready to serve.
  • After cooking the burgers, store them in the fridge for up to three days, or in the freezer for up to three weeks. When freezing the patties, freeze first on a parchment lined sheet pan. Once frozen, stack patties between parchment squares and place in a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat at 400F (200C) for about 15 minutes.

Provided by Katy Gilhooly

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 19

75g wholemeal bread ,or sourdough
75g walnuts
400g sweet potato
400g can black beans, drained
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp onion granules
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp rapeseed oil, to fry
½ cucumber, halved, deseeded and sliced on an angle
2 large carrots (about 300g) peeled into ribbons
small bunch coriander, finely chopped
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
4 sourdough burger buns
2 large tomatoes, thickly sliced
1 avocado, peeled, stoned and sliced
50g rocket
coconut yogurt or burger sauce of choice

Steps:

  • Put the wholemeal bread and walnuts in a food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-10 mins until soft. Cut in half and scrape the cooked centres into the food processor with the bread and walnut crumbs. Make sure the beans are drained thoroughly then add them to the processor with the paprika, cumin, onion granules, and tomato puree. Season generously and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and holding together. Divide the mix into 4 patties and chill for 20 mins to firm up.
  • Meanwhile make the side salad by mixing the cucumber, carrot, coriander, lime juice and rapeseed oil together. Season and put to one side.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties and fry for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and hot through. Place a small handful of rocket into each burger bun. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, and then avocado. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or burger sauce of your choice. Serve with the carrot and cucumber salad alongside.

Tips:

  • Soaking black beans: Soaking the black beans overnight or for at least 8 hours helps soften them and reduces cooking time. If you're short on time, you can also use canned black beans, but be sure to rinse them thoroughly before using.
  • Using a food processor: A food processor makes it easy to blend the ingredients and create a smooth burger mixture. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the ingredients with a fork or potato masher, but the texture may be slightly less smooth.
  • Forming the burgers: Use a burger press or your hands to form the burger patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more bread crumbs or oats. If the mixture is too dry, add more vegetable broth or water.
  • Cooking the burgers: You can cook the burgers in a skillet, on a griddle, or in the oven. Be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they cook evenly throughout. If you're cooking them in a skillet, add a little oil or cooking spray to prevent them from sticking.
  • Serving the burgers: Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado. You can also add cheese, bacon, or a fried egg for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

These black bean and walnut burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They're packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and they're easy to make. Whether you're a vegetarian or meat-eater, you're sure to enjoy these burgers.
