Savory Black Bean & Beyond Meat Vegan Burger
Black beans and Beyond Meat are combined to form the patty in this hearty vegan burger, giving it both a firm texture and a savory, meaty flavor. Classic burger toppings work well here, and the whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes. It fits naturally on a cookout menu or a casual weeknight dinner.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Non-stick skillet
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
Burger Ingredients
- 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 patties Beyond Meat burger patties
- ½ cup breadcrumbs preferably whole grain
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
Accompaniments
- 4 medium hamburger buns whole-grain or gluten-free, if needed
- 4 leaves lettuce for garnishing
- 1 medium tomatoes sliced
- ¼ cup Vegan mayo or preferred sauce
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the flaxseed mixture by combining the ground flaxseeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Set aside to thicken as a binding agent.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans until they form a thick paste, leaving only a few whole beans for texture.
- Crumble the Beyond Meat burger patties into the black bean mixture. Add in the breadcrumbs, flaxseed mixture, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form circular patties with your hands. Make sure each patty is compact and even.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 180°C or 350°F). Place the patties in the skillet and cook each side for about 6-7 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a pan or toaster.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the buns and adding lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and a dollop of vegan mayo or sauce.
Notes
For a smokier flavor, consider adding a dash of liquid smoke to the patty mixture. To ensure even cooking, flatten any rounded edges of the patties gently before cooking.
