[recipe re-post] Tao's Mean Black Bean Burgers ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

Here is a recipe re-post of a nice vegan black bean burger that is

in our files. This one was shared by sleepingtao aka Mr. Graves.

If you have any questions about his instructions just post them

to the group and I am sure he would be happy to help.

I've been having fun reorganizing the files and this gem jumped

out at me today:

 

Right now I'm making the main ingredient for mean

black bean burgers, my own recipe:

 

1 can black beans (soft and wet)

2 cloves garlic

1 half onion

1/4 cup sesame seeds

tabasco sauce to taste (or hot sauce or chili flakes)

spinach, torn stems

little bit of cornstarch/water mix

basil

salt pepper

tiny bit of ginger

one half carrot

one half zucchini

 

 

shred carrot, garlic, zucchini, ginger with food proc.

 

throw everything else except corn starch slurry in

food processor, after draining beans. electrimofy it

into a thick paste. If it's watery, slowly add tiny

bits of slurry, it'll thicken. stop electrimofying it

and scoop into big bowl. take shredded stuff, add to

bowl, get hands all dirty mixing it up and making it

into a big mess. shape into patties, fry.

 

first time i made this it was too wet, it tasted

wonderful but didnt keep shape; thats why im adding

the cornstarch this time and a little extra

carrots/zucchini; either way it tasted awesome, i mean

really really, let's have three of those good, and im

perfecting the recipe so when i open my vegan cafe i

can use them as an item.
