About the Recipe

Enjoy my vegetarian Black Bean Burgers, prepared with fresh ingredients and a unique blend of seasonings. Served with Sweet Potato Fries, hand-cut and seasoned with a light blend of spices.

To make these vegan, replace the egg with 1 tsp of chia seeds soaked in water and vegan feta cheese.

Serve with lots of salad like tomatoes., lettuce. more raw onion pickles, mayonnaise and/or burger sauce.

You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy this recipe - It's just as good as a beef burger and very easy to adapt to vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp of olive oil - 1 tsp for the sweet potato fries and the remainder for the burgers

  • 300g sweet potatoes

  • 2 tsp of smoked paprika - 1 tsp for the sweet potato fries and 1 tsp for the burgers

  • 1  400g tin of black beans 

  • 1 onion, chopped finely

  • 1 garlic clove, grated

  • 100g of bread crumbs

  • 1 egg

  • 50g of feta cheese

  • Burger buns

Preparation

Steps


  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/gas mark 4. 

  2. For the sweet potato fries, simply cut them into wedges, add salt, pepper and smoked paprika with a teaspoon of olive oil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

  3. Drain the black beans thoroughly and place on another baking tray with parchment paper. Put in the oven for about 10-15 minutes - enough to dry them out. This will help give you the meaty texture rather than a sloppy bean burger. 

  4. Meanwhile, sautée the onions until soft in a pan with a little olive oil and garlic.

  5. Put the dried beans, sautéed onions and garlic together with the breadcrumbs, smoked paprika and feta cheese, using a folk mash it all together. Add the egg to bind and shape into burger patties.

  6. Fry the burgers on a medium to high heat for about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through or oven bake along side the sweet potato fries.
