Black Bean Burgers Find substitution suggestions and other tips below the recipe. Storage: Refrigerate the cooked patties for up to 4 days.
Where to buy: Chickpea flour can be found at well-stocked supermarkets, natural food stores, Indian markets (where it's often labeled as gram or besan flour) and online. Servings: 8 (makes 8 burgers)
Total time: 30 mins Ingredients - 3 1/2 cups home-cooked or canned no-salt-added black beans (from two 15-ounce cans), drained and rinsed
- Generous 1 cup chickpea flour (see Where to buy)
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons plain, unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
- 2 teaspoons tamari
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 8 whole-wheat buns (optional)
- Slices of cheese, tomato and onion, plus pickles, mustard and/or ketchup, for serving (optional)
Steps 1. In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the beans until mushy but not totally smooth. (There should still be some whole beans in the mixture.) 2. Add the chickpea flour, tomato paste, applesauce, lime juice, tamari, vinegar, chili powder, salt and pepper, and stir to incorporate. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if desired. 3. Add enough oil to come 1/2 inch up the sides of a large (12-inch) skillet, and set over medium heat until hot. (To test whether the oil is ready, add a tiny bit of the mixture, and if it immediately sizzles, the oil is ready.) Place a generous 1/3 cup of the mixture in the center of the pan. Carefully press it into a round until the patty is about 3/4-inch thick. Repeat to form 3 or 4 burgers in the pan. Cook until browned and crisp on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking. 4. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate, sprinkle lightly with more salt, if desired, and cover loosely to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture for a total of 8 burgers. 5. Serve on buns, with cheese, slices of tomato and onion, pickles, mustard and/or ketchup, if desired. Adapted from "Deliciously Ella Every Day" by Ella Woodward (Scribner, 2016). Tested by Joe Yonan.
