Spicy Bean Burgers Recipes

SPICY BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Pour both types of tinned beans into a mixing bowl.
• Add the grated carrot, taco or fajita mix and breadcrumbs and mix well with your hands.
• Tip out the mixture onto a clean flat surface and divide into 6 paddies.
• If cooking straight away, make into thick paddies and cook in a hot frying pan with a small amount of oil.
• If freezing without cooking first, divide into paddies and freeze in a freezer bag (taking out as much air as possible) and freeze flat on a tray. These burgers can easily break so care is needed when handling. Freeze along-side a bag of buns, portioned out frozen potato wedges or frozen corn on the cob, for a full meal that's easy to grab from the freezer
• Defrost and cook in frying pan over a medium heat until each side is golden brown and inside is piping hot, usually 4 minutes each side.

SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Whisk egg, cumin, chili powder, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl.
• Mash black beans in a separate bowl until they reach a paste-like consistency.
• Stir jalapeno pepper, corn, and garlic through the black bean paste.
• Mix the egg mixture into the black bean mixture.
• Scatter the bread crumbs over the black bean mixture; mix with your hands to evenly incorporate.
• Form the resulting mixture into 4 patties.
• Pour flour into the bottom of a shallow dish; coat the patties in the flour to help them hold shape.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in hot oil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

SPICY PORK BURGERS WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the dried fruit chutney: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to smoke lightly, then add the onions and garlic and sprinkle with the salt and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onions and garlic become translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, cloves and cinnamon stick. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes to let the vinegar mellow. Add the raisins, apricots, figs, cognac and 1 cup water and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
• For the black beans: Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the onions, oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar and cook until the onions are caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and beans and cook so the ingredients meld together, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• For the spicy pork burgers: Break up the meat in a medium bowl and spread it up on the sides so that the seasoning can really permeate the meat. Add the sherry, soy sauce, Worcestershire and cayenne. Mix with your hands to make sure all of the flavors get integrated but do not overmix. (The more you work the meat, the tougher the burger.) Form the meat into 4 even patties about 3/4-inch thick.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the patties in a single layer in the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat and cook, undisturbed, for 5 to 6 minutes. Rotate the patties a quarter turn and cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes. Use a metal spatula to flip the patties on their second sides and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and place 2 slices of American cheese on each patty. Let the patties rest in the skillet so the cheese melts.
• Arrange the roll bottoms on a work surface and top with lettuce. Top the lettuce with the patties, spoon some of the chutney and black beans on each and finish with the roll tops.

• Divide 2/3 mixture into 4 portions and form into patties. Save the remaining mixture for another use, like Black Bean Enchiladas. Place on hot oiled grill over medium-low heat and cook about 6 minutes a side or until heated through. Toast hamburger buns on a grill. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. Cover the burgers with the top of the bun and serve.
