  93 Ingredients</h2>
  94
  95 <p class="first">Combine the basic bean patty with a binder of your choosing, and add a
  96 spice blend. Quantities for the binder and spices here are based on
  97 one unit of bean patty mixture.</p>

 100 Basic Bean Patty</h3>
 101
 102 <ul>
 103 <li>850g black beans cooked (2x425g cans no salt added black beans),
 104
 105 <ul>
 106 <li>816g after draining</li>
 107 <li>689g after drying in oven</li>
 108 </ul></li>

 113 <p>or</p>
 114
 115 <ul>
 116 <li>700g cooked from dry beans</li>
 117 </ul>
 118
 119 <p>Makes six to eight patties.</p>
 120
 121
 122 <h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
 123 Binder</h3>
 124
 125 <ul>
 126 <li>1/4 cup vital wheat gluten</li>
 127 <li>1/2 cup panko flakes</li>
 128 </ul>
 129
 130 <p>Mix panko flakes and vital wheat gluten together.</p>
 131
 132
 133 <h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
 134 Spices</h3>
 135
 136 <ul>
 137 <li>2tbsp olive oil (for sauteing onions)</li>

 150 <h2><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
 151 Directions</h2>
 152
 153 <h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
 154 Prepare Canned Beans</h3>
 155
 156 <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
 157 bit.</p>
 158
 159 <ol>
 160 <li>Preheat oven to 350°F</li>
 161 <li>Drain black beans, discarding liquid. Don't rinse.</li>
 162 <li>Spread beans on foil lined baking sheet with sides</li>
 163 <li>Place in oven for ~15 minutes</li>
 164 </ol>
 165
 166 <p>If using beans cooked from dry beans, this can probably be skipped?</p>
 167
 168
 169 <h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a>
 170 Prepare Chickpeas</h3>
 171
 172 <ol>
 173 <li>Drain liquid from chickpeas</li>
 174 <li>Pulse in food processor or small chopper until they are crumbly</li>
 175 </ol>
 176
 177
 178 <h3><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a>
 179 Sauteed Herbs and Vegetables</h3>
 180
 181 <ol>
 182 <li>Dice white onion</li>
 183 <li>Dice bell pepper</li>
 184 <li>Mince hot peppers and garlic</li>
 185 <li>Retain half uncooked of onions/peppers/garlic uncooked. Drain
 186 while sauteing other half.</li>
 187 <li>Saute onion, peppers, and garlic with olive oil until onions are
 188 lightly browned</li>
 189 <li>Squeeze in paper towel after cooled to drain any excess moisture
 190 and oil. Do the same for the uncooked vegetables (gently).</li>
 191 </ol>
 192
 193
 194 <h3><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
 195 Combine!</h3>
 196
 197 <ol>
 198 <li>Mix dry spices before and black beans in bowl <strong>before</strong> mashing (this
 199 seems to help diffuse the spices more consistently).</li>
 200 <li>Mash beans to desired consistency in a mixing bowl. Mostly paste
 201 with some partially mashed beans is good.</li>
 202 <li>Mix in processed chickpeas</li>
 203 <li>Mix in garlic, peppers, and onions</li>
 204 <li>Mix in binder</li>
 205 </ol>
 206
 207 <p>Grab a ball of the mixture and form into a patty. It should be almost
 208 as robust as a murder burger so should be able to handle being
 209 squished into whatever shape by hand.</p>
 210
 211
 212 <h3><a name="sec10" id="sec10"></a>
 213 Cook</h3>
 214
 215 <ol>
 216 <li>Pan fry over medium-high heat for ~4 minutes per side (until
 217 outside is browned and a bit crispy). Cooking spray or oil will be
 218 needed to keep it from burning. Brushing the burgers with sesame
 219 oil works well (one side at a time, just before putting into pan
 220 and just before flipping).</li>
 221 </ol>
 222
 223
 224
 225 <h2><a name="sec11" id="sec11"></a>
 226 TODO</h2>
 227
 228 <p class="first">Should some liquid be included when processing chickpeas?</p>
 229
 230 <p>Cumin level seems ok, but needs more onion and bell pepper (thinking
 231 two bell peppers next time).</p>
 232
 233 <h3><a name="sec12" id="sec12"></a>
 234 2019-04-29</h3>
 235
 236 <p class="first">Doubled cumin from 1.5Tbsp to 3 Tbsp</p>
 237
 238 <p>Used three bell peppers</p>
 239
 240 <p>Skipped sauteeing vegetables entirely</p>
 241
 242
 243 <h3><a name="sec13" id="sec13"></a>
 244 2019-06-??</h3>
 245
 246 <ul>
 247 <li>Added 1/4 cup pistachios. Seems like a reasonable idea, use more
 248 next time. or just tahina...</li>
 249 <li>One can normal salt black beans (got it by accident), and one can
 250 low salt. not sure if this affected anything other than salt
 251 content.</li>
 252 <li>Added 1tbps cracked black pepper</li>
 253 <li>Added 1/2Tbsp oregano</li>
 254 <li>Used two bell peppers</li>
 255 <li>Halved fresh garlic, added 1Tbsp powder</li>
 256 </ul>
 257
 258 <p>These were good, but I waited so long after making them to record
 259 notes I can't remember what was better othan than maybe the nuts.</p>
 260
 261
 262 <h3><a name="sec14" id="sec14"></a>
 263 2021-06-19</h3>
 264
 265 <p class="first">Integrate more recent changes from base black bean burger recipe.</p>
 266
 267 <p>Will be grilled, so needs tahini to be extra sticky.</p>
 268
 269 <p>Skip sauteeing vegetables?</p>
 270
 271 <h4><a name="sec15" id="sec15"></a>
 272 Spices</h4>
 273
 274 <ul>
 275 <li>2 bell peppers? (guess if they're smaller food lion peppers)</li>
 276 <li>1/2 tsp MSG</li>
 277 <li>1 tsp fine grained sea salt</li>
 278 <li>Reduce 3 -&gt; 2 tbsp cumin</li>
