Really Awesome Black Bean Burgers | Kenji's Cooking Show

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is one of my most popular recipes from the last decade. Read more here: www.seriouseats.com/2014/03/t...
The trick is to bake canned black beans in the oven to dehydrate them before chopping them and incorporating them into a vegetarian patty flavored with onions, chiles, chipotle peppers, and cotija cheese. cashews add more texture. They're delicious, even if you aren't normally a veggie-burger person.

The last attempt at veggie burgers resulted in a mushy mess but this recipe...chefs kiss. So easy to make. I did pinto and chic pea beans as I didn't have black. These are amazing. The texture is unbelievable. The flavor is neutral so you can adjust any flavorings you prefer... Yall... These are amazing.

    As an omnivore, I can confirm that this recipe makes for a really awesome black bean burger. I don’t eat meat on Fridays during lent, so I made this mixture on a Thursday night to have the next day. I found myself enjoying it so much that I kept making them for myself throughout the following week even when I could eat meat. If I’m being honest, for me, a meal without meat is kind of unsatisfying. These things are a definite exception to that. Give them a try

Nice nutty flavor and almost creates a meat fat quality in the patty. Anyway, lots of variations. I pan fried covered, flipped, added cheese, covered and done. Char them a little. Awesome, awesome!

    I made this excellent recipe 2 days ago. Yes, the video is lengthy but so is the prep. One thing that @JKenjiLopezAlt does, consistently, is go into a lot of detail in his blogs and videos to assist the reader/home cook in achieving the same opportunity for success that he has. I felt that the prep was very time consuming but, in the end, well worth the effort. I weighed each portion at 3 ounces each and ended up with 9 patties plus a skinny mini 1 ounce patty which made a nice addition to a breakfast sandwich the next morning. I left out the feta cheese because I didn’t have any here and, probably wouldn’t have added it anyway due to its high fat content. Used 1 little 7 oz. can of diced mild green chilies instead of a poblano because that’s what was in the pantry. My burgers weren’t dry and the texture was perfect. Since I only cook for one, flash froze most of them after cooling, for planned ahead meals.

    What if someone can’t handle anything beyond the most mild kick? On a scale of 1-10, how spicy is it? I forget, does the bIack bean burger have any spice in it too? If so, how spicy is it? I think I could handle a small kick in one or the other, but not spicyness in both the mayo AND the burger. Haha.

We substituted feta for goat cheese because she mixed up what we had in the fridge but they still turned out great! Slight warning, the amount we had only produced 5 patties big enough for our buns/preference but there’s plenty of variables that could have altered that. All that said, thanks for the recipe Kenji!

    Kenji - thank you THANK YOU for this recipe!! I made this recipe this past weekend and was astounded by how much flavor and texture that these patties had. After going vegetarian for Lent, I have gravely struggled with finding vegetarian meals that have great taste AND are filling as well. This recipe did both. I had a suspicion that the patty mixture would be a little bit easier to form if I left it in the fridge for a day, but I just couldn't resist making these. Absolutely delicious with some avocado as well! My parents and siblings admire your recipes and the work you do, so keep on keeping on. Your KZread channel has been such a boon to me during the pandemic, and I have loved reading about the science behind food on Serious Eats and in the Food Lab (got the book for Christmas!) Love the doggie cam at the end. Cheers!

    I love how you said don't use pre chopped garlic, "unless you like the flavor, then don't let me stop you from using it". I think that's really important when it comes to cooking. Not letting people, including famous chefs, tell you what you should and shouldn't like. I hear a lot of chefs on youtube say "Never use x food because it's not fresh", or "Never add X because it is disgusting". But if you like the taste of it, then add it or use it instead. You like spray cheese on your mac n cheese instead of using a block of cheese? Then use spray cheese! You like canned sardines instead of fresh sardines? Use the canned ones!

Both of us were shocked how good this burger was...just amazing. On a scale of 1-10, we gave it a 15. The flavor and texture is great and it's very easy to make. I should note that I have enjoyed a number of Kenji's recipes. It's a small world since I attended several immunology conferences at which is father also participated.

    I think you could do either, depending on the thickness. If you want a nice, thick black bean burger, probably thaw first, but thinner patties would be fine to cook straight from frozen. Then again, having them thin enough to cook straight from frozen but thick enough to not fall apart might be a delicate balance to strike.
