Bean burger
A bean burger is a type of burger typically made from beans, vegetables, and spices, formed into a patty and fried or baked. The first known recipe for a bean burger appeared in the Boston Cooking School Cook Book, published in 1896. The recipe, simply titled "Bean Hamburgers," called for cooked navy beans to be ground and mixed with bread crumbs, onion, and egg, then shaped into patties and fried.
Over the next century, bean burger recipes evolved to include a variety of different ingredients. In the early 1900s, cookbooks began to suggest adding salt pork or bacon to the mixture, while others called for the use of mashed potatoes or bread crumbs as a binding agent. In the 1940s, the addition of Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard to the mix became popular, and by the 1950s, recipes for "vegetarian burgers" made with beans and vegetables were appearing in cookbooks.
Today, there are an endless variety of bean burger recipes available, with ingredients ranging from quinoa and sweet potatoes to black beans and lentils. Whether you're looking for a hearty, meatless burger option or simply want to try something new, there's a bean burger recipe out
Advice
Making a bean burger is a great way to have a vegan-friendly meal that is still hearty and delicious. For best results, start by thoroughly mashing beans with a fork or potato masher. This will help the burgers hold together while they are cooking. Next, add some flavorings to the mashed beans like garlic, herbs, and spices. To bind the ingredients together, add a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs and an egg. Finally, form the mixture into patties and cook on a greased skillet over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes per side. Serve with your favorite toppings for a delicious vegan meal.
