Ballin' Black Bean Burgers with Chipotle Mayo Recipe
Welcome to Real Men Eat Green, where manliness meets green cuisine. My name is Tony and today we're making ballin' black bean burgers. This recipe is a great alternative to your regular hamburger and a fantastic way to introduce yourself to more sustainable ways of eating. The star ingredient is, of course, the black bean. Combined with cilantro, onion, lime, carrot, red pepper, and whole wheat Kaiser buns, this burger is full of flavor. And don't forget the sriracha chili hot sauce for that extra kick.
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Open a can of black beans and rinse them well to remove the polysaccharides that cause gas. Dry the beans thoroughly and mash them, leaving a few chunks for texture. In a food processor, chop half a red pepper, garlic cloves, and onion. Add this mixture to the mashed beans along with cumin, chili powder, and an egg. Mix well before adding breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. If the mixture is too mushy, add more breadcrumbs.
Divide the mixture into four patties and bake them in the oven for 10 minutes on each side. Alternatively, you can grill them for 8 minutes on each side. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the chipotle mayo by combining half a cup of canola-based oil mayo with chipotle peppers, lime juice, and garlic. Flip the burgers and toast the buns in the oven for a few minutes. Top the burgers with cheese and melt it.
Now it's time to assemble your burgers. Place a patty on a bun and add ketchup, mustard, baby greens, tomato, and any other vegetables you like. Finish with a dollop of chipotle mayo and some cilantro for extra freshness. Serve the burgers with a side salad for a complete meal.
