BLACK BEAN VEGAN MINI-BURGERS

Steps:

• If you're going to be baking them, preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F
• Chop up the ginger, green onions and mushrooms finely, and sauté in about half of the olive oil until the mushrooms are wilted and brownish.
• In the meantime, chop up the nuts. Add to the sauté pan to toast a bit.
• If using the fermented black beans, chop finely until they're almost a paste.
• Reserve a couple of spoonfuls of the beans. Mash up the rest of the beans with a masher or in the food processor. Put the fermented black beans in and process until it's fairly smooth. Add the spice and rice flour and process again. Add the sautéed vegetables, the reserved beans and the nuts, and pulse-process until mixed (you want some of the texture to remain).
• Divide the mixture into 8 to 12 portions. With moistened hands, make into flat little patties.
• If baking in the oven, oil a baking sheet and then brush the tops with a bit more oil. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip then bake 5 minutes more.
• If cooking in a frying pan, heat up the pan with the rest of the oil. Fry the burgers until crispy, carefully flip over and fry the other side.
• In the meantime, mix the sauce. Brush the sauce onto the hot burgers, or serve separately for dipping.
• Good hot or at room temperature.

THE BEST BLACK BEAN BURGER

Steps:

• Mash black beans in a bowl with a potato masher, leaving a few beans whole for texture; set aside.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add to black beans and season with basil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Fold beaten eggs into the bean mixture. Sprinkle in bread crumbs, adding a little at a time and fold in. Be careful not to overmix the bean mixture.
• Reheat the skillet that you cooked the onion mixture in. Scoop out 1 cup bean mixture and shape into a ball. Set the ball into the hot skillet and gently flatten to form a burger.
• Cook until firm and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bean mixture. You might need to add more oil.
