  65 Ingredients</h2>
  66
  67 <p class="first">Combine the basic bean patty with a binder of your choosing, and add a
  68 spice blend. Quantities for the binder and spices here are based on
  69 one unit of bean patty mixture.</p>
  70
  71 <h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
  72 Basic Bean Patty</h3>
  73
  74 <ul>
  75 <li>850g black beans cooked (2x425g cans no salt added black beans),
  76
  77 <ul>
  78 <li>816g after draining</li>
  79 <li>689g after drying in oven</li>
  80 </ul></li>
  81 <li>1-2 tbsp sesame oil (for frying patties)</li>
  82 </ul>
  83
  84 <p>or</p>
  85
  86 <ul>
  87 <li>700g cooked from dry beans</li>
  88 </ul>
  89
  90 <p>Makes six to eight patties.</p>
  91
  92
  93 <h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
  94 Binder</h3>
  95
  96 <ul>
  97 <li>1/4 cup vital wheat gluten</li>
  98 <li>1/2 cup panko flakes</li>
  99 </ul>
 100
 101 <p>Mix panko flakes and vital wheat gluten together.</p>
 102
 103
 104 <h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
 105 Spices</h3>
 106
 107 <ul>
 108 <li>2tbsp olive oil (for sauteing onions)</li>
 109 <li>1/2 large white onion</li>
 110 <li>2 Serrano peppers</li>
 111 <li>1 habanero pepper</li>
 112 <li>1 Sweet bell pepper (red, orange, yellow &mdash; doesn't matter)</li>
 113 <li>8 cloves garlic</li>
 114 <li>1 tbsp cumin</li>
 115 <li>1/2 tbsp maras biberi flakes or aleppo pepper flakes</li>
 116 <li>3/4 tsp dried ground ginger</li>
 117 </ul>
 118
 119 <p>If you want this to be less spicy, either the habanero or Serrano
 120 peppers can be left out (If I had to choose, I'd drop the Serrano
 121 peppers as I find a habanero pepper complements the sweet bell pepper
 122 more, unless you can get ripe Serrano peppers).</p>

 127 Directions</h2>
 128
 129 <h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
 130 Prepare Canned Beans</h3>
 131
 132 <p class="first">Stolen from <a href="https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/03/the-best-black-bean-burger-recipe.html">Serious Eats</a>, canned black beans should be dehydrated a
 133 bit.</p>
 134
 135 <ol>
 136 <li>Preheat oven to 350°F</li>
 137 <li>Drain beans, discarding liquid. Don't rinse.</li>
 138 <li>Spread beans on foil lined baking sheet with sides</li>
 139 <li>Place in oven for ~15 minutes</li>
 140 </ol>
 141
 142 <p>If using beans cooked from dry beans, this can probably be skipped?</p>
 143
 144
 145 <h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
 146 Sauteed Herbs and Vegetables</h3>
 147
 148 <ol>
 149 <li>Dice white onion</li>
 150 <li>Dice bell pepper</li>
 151 <li>Mince hot peppers and garlic</li>
 152 <li>Retain half uncooked of onions/peppers/garlic uncooked. Drain
 153 while sauteing other half.</li>
 154 <li>Saute onion, peppers, and garlic with olive oil until onions are
 155 lightly browned</li>
 156 <li>Squeeze in paper towel after cooled to drain any excess moisture
 157 and oil. Do the same for the uncooked vegetables (gently).</li>
 158 </ol>
 159
 160
 161 <h3><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
 162 Combine!</h3>
 163
 164 <ol>
 165 <li>Mix dry spices before and beans in bowl <strong>before</strong> mashing (this seems
 166 to help diffuse the spices more consistently).</li>
 167 <li>Mash beans to desired consistency in a mixing bowl. Mostly paste
 168 with some partially mashed beans is good.</li>
 169 <li>Mix in garlic, peppers, and onions</li>
 170 <li>Mix in binder</li>
 171 </ol>
 172
 173 <p>Grab a ball of the mixture and form into a patty. It should be almost
 174 as robust as a murder burger so should be able to handle being
 175 squished into whatever shape by hand.</p>
 176
 177
 178 <h3><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
 179 Cook</h3>
 180
 181 <ol>
 182 <li>Pan fry over medium-high heat for ~4 minutes per side (until
 183 outside is browned and a bit crispy). Cooking spray or oil will be
 184 needed to keep it from burning. Brushing the burgers with sesame
 185 oil works well (one side at a time, just before putting into pan
 186 and just before flipping).</li>
 187 </ol>
 188
 189
 190
 191 <h2><a name="sec10" id="sec10"></a>
 192 TODO</h2>
 193
 194 <p class="first">Increased onion and garlic, not sure if more dry spices are also
 195 needed.</p>
 196
 197 <p>At least needs more cumin... taste is a bit &quot;empty&quot;. Thinking that
 198 cumin should be doubled. Maybe add some ground pistachios or even a
 199 bit of tahina as well.</p>
