Mexican style Black bean burger based on whole foods

Mexican style Black Bean Burger

This recipe is only about the patty itself. I recommend picking whole food quality buns, adding fresh veggies, potato wedges and more goes just great with it.

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients

The Mass

  • 200 g Black natural rice Boiled and dried
  • 250 g Black beans Boiled and dried
  • 100 g fresh Shitake
  • 50 g Onion
  • 3 tbsp Ground Flax Seed

The Flavor

  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa
  • 1/4 tbsp Ground Star Anise
  • 25 g Chopped Cilantro Coriander Greens
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin

The Rest

  • Pepper
  • Salt
  • Oil For frying

Instructions

  • Best start off by boiling the rice. If you have precooked Beans you can use them alright, if not - soak them for at least 2 hours, rinse and then boil them for 45 minutes.. Make sure to wash them properly and let everything dry out afterwards.
  • Chop the onion and shiitake mushrooms. Add oil to a pan and fry mushrooms and onions at medium to high heat until they start to turn brown. Deglaze with some soy sauce and let the liquid vanish almost completely.
  • Chop the Cilantro / Coriander, add it to the blender with the beans, rice and mushrooms and the ground flax seeds. Add pepper, salt and cumin to your liking. Add cocoa and anise to round up the taste. Blend on medium speed until the mass is sticky, but still chunky. We don‘t want to create a homogenous mass here, so better start slowly with the blending.
  • Form a nice ball from the burger mass and let it rest for at least half an hour. Then take either an empty tin, a burger press or a dessert form (you will find something fitting in your household) and shape some nice round patties. If you now want, you can put them in the oven for 10 minutes to give them more bite by removing excess water. This however is optional
  • Fry the patties for about 4 minutes on each side on medium to high heat.
