JAMIE OLIVER'S VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS
Beans have been a staple in the human diet for more than 4,000 years, and in recent history, they've formed the foundation of countless vegetarian burgers. There are white bean burgers, kidney bean burgers and a plethora of other veggie burgers. Most have two things in common: beans and binders. This version from the chef Jamie Oliver's new book "Ultimate Veg" (Flatiron Books, 2020) combines black beans, rye bread, fresh mushrooms and ground coriander. Mr. Oliver tops his burgers with tangy yogurt, mangoes and salsa, but these crisp, oven-roasted patties are equally delicious with just lettuce and ketchup.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel and roughly chop 1 onion, then place it in a food processor. Add the mushrooms and pulse until just finely chopped. (Be careful not to overprocess into a paste.) Transfer mixture to a large bowl and wipe out the bowl of the food processor. Add torn bread to the processor, pulse until it forms fine crumbs, then transfer crumbs to the mushroom mixture.
- Add black beans and coriander, season well with salt and pepper, then mix together until thoroughly combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into 1-inch-thick patties. Rub all over with oil and dust with ground coriander, then place on an oiled baking sheet.
- Roast patties until dark and crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle the burgers with the Cheddar. Let burgers cool slightly to firm up. While the burgers cool, transfer the buns to the hot oven and heat for a few minutes until toasted.
- Meanwhile, peel and very finely chop the remaining 1/2 onion. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes. Zest the lime on top, then halve the lime and squeeze lime juice on top, to taste. Add a few shakes of hot sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pit, peel and finely slice the mango and avocado.
- Spread the yogurt on the bases of the rolls or buns, then top with half the salsa, the mango and the avocado. Add the burgers, the remaining salsa, extra Tabasco and cilantro leaves, then pop the lids on, press down lightly and serve immediately.

BLACK BEAN BURGERS
Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then saute the onions for 4 minutes, until they start to soften. Add the garlic, mushrooms and thyme and cook for a further 3 minutes or until most of the mushroom juice has evaporated. Stir in the drained beans and soy sauce and cook through for around 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat.
- Roughly mash the mixture with a potato masher, whilst keeping some texture; be careful not to over mash. Stir in the flour and nutritional yeast flakes, if using. Divide the mixture into 4 portions. Then, using your hands, mold each portion into a burger shape about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches wide or wide enough to fit your bun.
- Put the burgers on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Allow to chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour, to firm up before cooking.
- To fry the burgers: Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a medium-large frying pan over a medium heat (you want to hear a nice sizzle) and cook the burgers for about 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through and crisp brown on both sides.
- To assemble the burgers: Spread 1 teaspoon of 1000 Island Dressing on the base of each bun, then lay a lettuce leaf on top. Add a burger, spread a thin layer of mustard onto each burger, add a slice or 2 of tomato, and then 3 thin slices of pickle. Add a few arugula leaves, then spread a little mustard on the underside of each burger top to complete. Serve with potato chips, if using.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a small serving bowl, whisking with a fork.
- This dressing is delicious spooned over veggie burgers or served as a dip with crudites. I also love it drizzled over a festive vegetarian nut roast the next day in a sandwich. Any unused dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

- Use a food processor or blender to mash the beans. This will create a smooth and consistent texture.
- Add a binder to help the burgers hold together. This could be anything from bread crumbs to eggs to flour.
- Form the burgers into patties and cook them until they are browned and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
- Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and guacamole.
Conclusion:
Black bean burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and they are relatively low in calories and fat.
