WHITE BEAN BURGERS

These have a delicate texture and a wonderful savory taste. They're a little tricky to turn, as they can fall apart. Don't make them too thick and use an offset spatula, and it will be easier for you. They should be cooked on a flat griddle or pan; don't try to grill them on a barbecue.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 patties

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
2 to 3 large garlic cloves (to taste), green shoots removed, minced
2/3 cup finely grated carrot
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons minced fresh sage or thyme
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Whole grain hamburger buns and the condiments of your choice

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium-size skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, the garlic and the grated carrot, and continue to cook for another minute or two, until fragrant and the carrot has softened slightly. Remove from the heat.
  • In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, puree the beans with the lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the onion mixture, the parsley, sage or thyme, the bread crumbs and the egg. Season to taste. Shape into patties, ½- to ¾-inch thick. Set on a parchment-covered baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet or on a griddle over medium heat and brown the patties for 4 minutes on each side, being very careful when you turn them over. An offset spatula works well for this. Serve on whole grain buns, with the condiments of your choice.

CANNELLINI (WHITE BEAN) VEGGIE BURGERS



Cannellini (White Bean) Veggie Burgers image

I whipped these up when I wanted a change from my regular lentil burgers, they'd be nice to veganize but I find I really need the egg whites to bind them. Lately I've been like a kid fascinated with a new toy with my new food processor!!! That sucker's got a powerful blade which is perfect for those fork-resistant beans and I'm using more real garlic and herbs now. Prep time includes the chill time.

Time 1h

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can cannellini, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup chopped onion (I use the frozen kind thawed out, this'd be one small onion)
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (not tahini)
2 egg whites (or 1 whole egg)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use whole-wheat)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain the can of white kidney beans, or if you prefer to use dried beans, cook 2/3 dry cup of them ahead of time. Use 1 whole egg, or separate two eggs, discarding the yolks.
  • Put everything on the list into your food processor and chop until you reach the desired consistency-- a total puree, or a rougher chop that still has some whole pieces of beans in there.
  • Scoop the mixture into a bowl and refridgerate for 20-30 minutes, it's okay if it stays in longer.
  • Form patties with your hands, you'll get 4 large ones or 6 smaller ones (which I prefer because I eat them on English muffins.).
  • Heat some olive oil on a frying pan, adding more as needed (mine tends to evaporate after a few minutes) to cook each patty for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Serve on your favorite buns/breads with the fixings you like. I particularly like these with ketchup or marinara sauce.
