Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can canned black beans
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 vegan burger buns
- 4 vegan cheese slices
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
- 0.5 cup pickles
- 0.25 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain and rinse the black beans, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some chunks for texture.
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, nutritional yeast, cumin, and smoked paprika to the mashed beans.
Mix all ingredients together until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and crisp.
Place the cooked patties on a baking sheet and top each with a slice of vegan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
While the patties are in the oven, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce leaves and pickles.
Mix the vegan mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl to create a sauce.
Toast the burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a patty, tomato slice, and pickles. Add the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Big Tasty Burger!
