| 71 | Ingredients</h2> |
| 72 | |
| 73 | <p class="first">Combine the basic bean patty with a binder of your choosing, and add a |
| 74 | spice blend. Quantities for the binder and spices here are based on |
| 75 | one unit of bean patty mixture.</p> |
| 76 | |
| 77 | <h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a> |
| 78 | Basic Bean Patty</h3> |
| 79 | |
| 80 | <ul> |
| 81 | <li>850g black beans cooked (2x425g cans no salt added black beans), |
| 82 | |
| 83 | <ul> |
| 84 | <li>816g after draining</li> |
| 85 | <li>689g after drying in oven</li> |
| 86 | </ul></li> |
| 87 | <li>Sesame oil (for frying patties) |
| 88 | |
| 89 | <ul> |
| 90 | <li>For coating patties, mix 3 tbsp sesame oil with 1 tsp toasted |
| 91 | sesame oil</li> |
| 92 | </ul></li> |
| 93 | </ul> |
| 94 | |
| 95 | <p>or</p> |
| 96 | |
| 97 | <ul> |
| 98 | <li>700g cooked from dry beans</li> |
| 99 | </ul> |
| 100 | |
| 101 | <p>Makes six to eight patties.</p> |
| 102 | |
| 103 | |
| 104 | <h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a> |
| 105 | Binder</h3> |
| 106 | |
| 107 | <ul> |
| 108 | <li>1/4 cup vital wheat gluten</li> |
| 109 | <li>1/2 cup panko flakes</li> |
| 110 | <li>Optional, for grilling or flavor: 4 tbsp tahini</li> |
| 111 | </ul> |
| 112 | |
| 113 | <p>Mix panko flakes and vital wheat gluten together.</p> |
| 114 | |
| 115 | <p>Tahini can be added if you want to make these a <em>lot</em> fattier. I leave |
| 116 | it out when pan frying because I am trying to eat a bit lighter and I |
| 117 | don't find that it has an earth-shattering effect on flavor. However, |
| 118 | when grilling the tahini is essential as it also makes the patties |
| 119 | extremely sticky and robust, and without it they are just slightly too |
| 120 | crumbly to cook directly on a grate.</p> |
| 121 | |
| 122 | |
| 123 | <h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a> |
| 124 | Spices</h3> |
| 125 | |
| 126 | <ul> |
| 127 | <li>1/2 large white or red onion</li> |
| 128 | <li>2 Serrano peppers</li> |
| 129 | <li>1 habanero pepper</li> |
| 130 | <li>1 Sweet bell pepper (red, orange, yellow — doesn't matter)</li> |
| 131 | <li>8 cloves garlic</li> |
| 132 | <li>1 tbsp cumin</li> |
| 133 | <li>1/2 tbsp maras biberi flakes or aleppo pepper flakes</li> |
| 134 | <li>3/4 tsp dried ground ginger</li> |
| 135 | <li>1/4 tsp MSG</li> |
| 136 | <li>1/2 tsp fine grained sea salt</li> |
| 137 | </ul> |
| 138 | |
| 139 | <p>If you want this to be less spicy, either the habanero or Serrano |
| 140 | peppers can be left out (If I had to choose, I'd drop the Serrano |
| 141 | peppers as I find a habanero pepper complements the sweet bell pepper |
| 142 | more, unless you can get ripe Serrano peppers).</p> |
| 143 | |
| 144 | <p>The MSG really puts these over the edge. Without it, they can be a bit |
| 145 | "thin" tasting.</p> |
| 146 | |
| 147 | |
| 148 | |
| 149 | <h2><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a> |
| 150 | Directions</h2> |
| 151 | |
| 152 | <h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a> |
| 153 | Prepare Canned Beans</h3> |
| 154 | |
| 155 | <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 |
| 156 | bit.</p> |
| 157 | |
| 158 | <ol> |
| 159 | <li>Preheat oven to 350°F (convection oven to 325°F)</li> |
| 160 | <li>Drain beans, discarding liquid. Don't rinse.</li> |
| 161 | <li>Spread beans on half sheet pan lined with foil or parchment.</li> |
| 162 | <li>Place in oven for ~15 minutes</li> |
| 163 | </ol> |
| 164 | |
| 165 | <p>I use a convention oven at 325°F and the beans dry a bit more |
| 166 | consistently than with the convection fan off. The beans usually take |
| 167 | about 15 minutes to dry on a darkish pan, but I found with a brand new |
| 168 | (shiny and bright) aluminum pan I had to increase the drying time by |
| 169 | around five minutes.</p> |
| 170 | |
| 171 | |
| 172 | <h3><a name="sec7" id="sec7"></a> |
| 173 | Prepare Vegetables</h3> |
| 174 | |
| 175 | <ol> |
| 176 | <li>Dice white onion</li> |
| 177 | <li>Dice bell pepper</li> |
| 178 | <li>Mince hot peppers and garlic</li> |
| 179 | <li>Separately wrap onions and bell pepper in paper towels and gently |
| 180 | squeeze to drain some excess moisture. Too much moisture from the |
| 181 | bell pepper especially can make the burgers a bit soggy.</li> |
| 182 | </ol> |
| 183 | |
| 184 | <p>Since these are just getting mashed into a patty and don't need to be |
| 185 | pretty, I just run the onions and bell pepper through a few pulses in |
| 186 | a food chopper.</p> |
| 187 | |
| 188 | |
| 189 | <h3><a name="sec8" id="sec8"></a> |
| 190 | Combine!</h3> |
| 191 | |
| 192 | <ol> |
| 193 | <li>Mix dry spices before and beans in bowl <strong>before</strong> mashing (this seems |
| 194 | to help diffuse the spices more consistently).</li> |
| 195 | <li>Mash beans to desired consistency in a mixing bowl. Mostly paste |
| 196 | with some partially mashed beans is good.</li> |
| 197 | <li>Mix in minced garlic and hot peppers</li> |
| 198 | <li>Mix in onions</li> |
| 199 | <li>Mix in bell pepper</li> |
| 200 | <li>Mix in panko/gluten binder</li> |
| 201 | <li>If using tahini, mix in last</li> |
| 202 | </ol> |
| 203 | |
| 204 | <p>Grab a ball of the mixture and form into a patty, making sure to work |
| 205 | it a bit (which I think makes the gluten link into strands and binds |
| 206 | things together better). It should be almost as robust as a murder |
| 207 | burger so should be able to handle being squished into whatever shape |
| 208 | by hand.</p> |
| 209 | |
| 210 | |
| 211 | <h3><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a> |
| 212 | Cook</h3> |
| 213 | |
| 214 | <h4><a name="sec10" id="sec10"></a> |
| 215 | Pan Frying</h4> |
| 216 | |
| 217 | <ol> |
| 218 | <li>Preheat pan with a couple tablespoons of sesame oil</li> |
| 219 | <li>Brush one side of patty with sesame oil + toasted sesame oil |
| 220 | mixture</li> |
| 221 | <li>Placing oiled side down, pan fry over medium-high heat for ~3 |
| 222 | minutes.</li> |
| 223 | <li>Oil top of patty, flip, pan fry additional three minutes</li> |
| 224 | <li>Flip patty, add more oil to pan (1Tbsp should be enough), reduce |
| 225 | heat to low, cover. Cook two minutes per side.</li> |
| 226 | </ol> |
| 227 | |
| 228 | |
| 229 | <h4><a name="sec11" id="sec11"></a> |
| 230 | Grilling</h4> |
| 231 | |
| 232 | <p class="first">It is important to make these with tahini when grilling.</p> |
| 233 | |
| 234 | <ol> |
| 235 | <li>Build decent charcoal fire</li> |
| 236 | <li>Brush one side of patty with sesame oil + toasted sesame oil |
| 237 | mixture</li> |
| 238 | <li>Brush grate with vegetable oil</li> |
| 239 | <li>Placing oiled side down on grate, cover grill (with vents open, to |
| 240 | keep high heat) and cook for two minutes</li> |
| 241 | <li>Oil top side of patty, flip, cook additional two minutes covered</li> |
| 242 | <li>Flip patty, cook additional two minutes per side covered</li> |
| 243 | </ol> |
| 244 | |
| 245 | <p>Internal temp should hit around 180°F and the patty should develop a |
| 246 | nice char.</p> |
