Bean Burgers
- Bean Burgers
- Time: 20 minutes, with cooked beans
- 2 cups well-cooked white, black or red beans, or chickpeas or lentils, or 1 14-ounce can, drained
- 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (preferably not instant)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, or the spice mix of your choice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- Bean-cooking liquid, stock or other liquid (wine, cream, milk, water or ketchup) if necessary
- Extra virgin olive oil or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn.
- 1. Combine all ingredients except liquid and oil in food processor and pulse until chunky but not pureed. If necessary, add a little liquid for a mixture that is moist but not wet. Let mixture rest for a few minutes.
- 2. With wet hands, shape into patties and let rest again for a few minutes. (Burger mixture or shaped burgers can be covered tightly and refrigerated for up to a day. Bring back to room temperature before cooking.) Film bottom of a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet with oil and turn heat to medium. When hot, add patties. Cook undisturbed until browned, about 5 minutes; turn carefully with spatula and cook 3 or 4 minutes until firm and browned.
- 3. Serve on buns with mustard, ketchup, chutney or other toppings.
- Yield: 4 servings.
