Burgers are classic American foods and for vegans this protein rich variant is ideal for satisfying those cravings and also for meeting nutritional needs. The following recipe contains 6-8 grams of protein per burger.
Ingredients:
1 hamburger bun torn in pieces (plus 2-3 more for making the burgers)
3 tbsp. olive oil (divided)
2 tsp. chopped garlic
1 can black beans (washed)
1 tsp. lime zest
¾ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. oregano
Pinch of salt
Method:
Crumble the bun in a processor. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add a tablespoon of oil, garlic and beans in the processor and pulse a few times to make a thick paste. Transfer to the bowl containing the bread crumbs.
Add the lime zest, chili powder, oregano and salt.
With oiled hands, shape the above mixture into 4, 3-inch patties. If the patty is crumbling, add a bit of cornstarch.
Heat a skillet and add a tablespoon of oil. Fry the patties on both sides until cooked (Cook for 3 minutes on each side).
Serve in a bun with ketchup, some vegan cheese, tomato slices, avocado slices and onion rings.
