Preparation of the pancakes
To prepare our vegan black bean burger patties, start by draining and rinsing a can of black beans. Mash them in a salad bowl using a fork until you obtain a coarse but homogeneous texture. Then add oatmeal, corn flour, spices like cumin or paprika to enhance the taste.
Also incorporate finely chopped vegetables such as onions, peppers or carrots for added flavor and nutrients. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix all the ingredients until you obtain a consistent dough that is easy to shape into patties.
Divide the dough into equal portions then form balls which you will flatten to give them the desired shape. Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the pancakes for a few minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside. There you go, your delicious plant-based patties are ready to be assembled into your gourmet burger!
Choice of bread and toppings
For a flavorful vegan black bean burger, the choice of bun and toppings is key to creating a delicious and balanced flavor combination.
Opt for a wholemeal or cereal bun to add a crunchy, fiber-rich texture to your burger. You can also choose a ciabatta or pretzel bread for a more artisanal touch.
When it comes to toppings, let your creativity run wild! Slices of creamy avocado will add a delicate creaminess, while slices of fresh tomato will add a note of tangy freshness.
Don’t forget crunchy vegetables like lettuce or baby spinach to add color and essential nutrients to your burger. And why not add a few slices of pickled red onion to spice things up?
The secret lies in the harmony between the bread and the toppings: choose them carefully, thinking about the balance of flavors and textures. Have fun experimenting with different combinations until you find the one that makes your mouth water!
Cooking the pancakes
A crucial step in making a delicious vegan black bean burger is cooking the patties. To start, make sure your pan or grill is hot enough before cooking the patties to get a nice crispy crust on the outside.
Pour a drizzle of oil into the pan and place your carefully formed patties there. Let them cook for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and hot inside. Do not hesitate to flatten them slightly with a spatula during cooking for a perfect texture.
Monitor the cooking time carefully to avoid burning the patties, while ensuring that they are cooked through. Once ready, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few moments before assembling them into your burger with your favorite buns and toppings.
Cooking the pancakes requires a little patience and attention, but the end result is definitely worth it!
Sauce suggestions
To accompany your delicious vegan black bean burger, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to sauces. Whether you prefer a spicy sauce like sriracha, a creamy twist with vegan mayonnaise, or a tangier flavor with avocado sauce, the possibilities are endless. Let your imagination run wild and create original combinations that will enhance the unique taste of your homemade vegan burger. So don’t hesitate to experiment and discover new flavors to make each bite even tastier!
