Anasazi Bean Veggie Burgers image

Chef Brad Fosseen serves these delicious, hearty burgers at his Spokane restaurants and they are one of the most popular dishes on the menu! The burger is great as is or you can add additional seasonings (such as chili powder or curry) in the 4th step. When sauteing the burgers, start with a cold pan; it gives them a nice crust. At the restaurant, the chef sautees the burger for 2-3 minutes, flips it, adds a cheese slice, and then finishes it in a 400-degree oven for a couple more minutes. These can also be baked. This recipe makes 4 very large burgers or 6 medium size burgers.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried anasazi beans (can also use canned beans) or 1 cup dried pinto bean, no soaking necessary (can also use canned beans)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup carrot, diced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1 egg
1 cup dried breadcrumbs, approximately

Steps:

  • Cook the beans in water (with a pinch of salt) for approximately 1 hour, until soft but not mushy. (Pinto beans will take about 20 minutes longer.) Drain (but don't rinse) and cool.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan. Saute the onion, bell peppers and carrot until soft, about 10 minutes. Cool.
  • Process the beans in a food processor until roughly chopped (only a couple of pulses). Remove the beans and repeat that step for the vegetables.
  • Combine beans and vegetables in a large mixing bowl, season with cumin, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to taste. Add the egg and then work the bread crumbs into the bean mixture, starting with small amounts and gradually adding more. It should hold together and have a texture similar to pie dough. If the mixture seems a little dry, add up to 1 tablespoon additional olive oil.
  • Form patties. Starting with a cold pan, saute with 1 tablespoon olive oil until golden, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Add a slice of cheddar and serve with mayonnaise.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much chili powder. Next time I'll use less.

These burgers were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the veggies and beans, and it made everything come together really quickly.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed these burgers. They're a great way to get more veggies into your diet, and they're really tasty too.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe with some grated zucchini or sweet potato.

These veggie burgers were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and had a delicious smoky flavor. We topped them with avocado, tomato, and sprouts, and they were perfect.
