Black Bean Hemp Burgers Recipes

SOUTHWEST BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Mash beans with the back of a fork to desired consistency (I like to leave some chunks, but the more chunks the more likely they are to fall apart after cooking).
• Add in the remaining ingredients and stir well.
• Form into 6 burgers, separate them with wax paper, and then place in the fridge to cool completely before trying to cook (they will stay together better this way).
• Turn frying pan to med-high (closer to medium than to high) and add 1 T oil. Cook each burger for about 2-3 minutes on each side (turning ONLY once, otherwise you increase the risk of them falling apart).
• NOTE: Feel free to bake these on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for approximately 7 minutes per side or until heated through.
• Serve on a bun with a slice of tomato and some guacamole.

SIMPLE BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
• Place a paper towel in bowl and put rinsed beans inside (this is important dry beans help this stick together).
• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans. (I use my grater when this is not an option).
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, black pepper, and cumin.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into 4-8 patties depending your size preference for me 1/2 a can of beans makes 4 small sized patties. I prefer the baked version.
• If baking, place patties on lightly prepped baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
• If frying lightly coat pan with oil and fry on medium low heat until browned and crispy.

BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• In food processor put first 6 ingredients and process until blended. I left some carrots chunky.
• Add oats and stir to mix well.
• Let sit for 20 minutes to soften oats.
• Preheat oven to 400degrees.
• Roll into burger patties and put on baking sheet- I used a cast iron griddle to help with non-stick and to keep it fat free. You can spray baking sheet w/ oil prior to placing burgers on it.
• Bake 8 minutes on each side. The recipe says you can also "fry" burgers in non-stick fry pan.
• Serve w/ whole wheat buns w/ toppings of choice. Enjoy this recipe made 7 good sized burgers.
• You can also freeze these after cooking and reheat. I am planning on taking these camping.

BLACK BEAN BURGER

Steps:

• Put the wholemeal bread and walnuts in a food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-10 mins until soft. Cut in half and scrape the cooked centres into the food processor with the bread and walnut crumbs. Make sure the beans are drained thoroughly then add them to the processor with the paprika, cumin, onion granules, and tomato puree. Season generously and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and holding together. Divide the mix into 4 patties and chill for 20 mins to firm up.
• Meanwhile make the side salad by mixing the cucumber, carrot, coriander, lime juice and rapeseed oil together. Season and put to one side.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties and fry for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and hot through. Place a small handful of rocket into each burger bun. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, and then avocado. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or burger sauce of your choice. Serve with the carrot and cucumber salad alongside.
