RICE AND BEAN BURGERS

Categories     Bean     Vegan

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup vegetable broth
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher or sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup cooked brown basmati rice
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Vegetable oil cooking spray
6 whole-grain hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Heat the broth in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 4 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Add the beans and turn heat to high. Mash beans coarsely as they cook over high heat for about 2 minutes, being careful to not let the beans burn. Transfer the beans into a bowl. Add the rice, bread crumbs, and parsley, and stir until combined. Form into six patties, place them on a plate, and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray. Place the patties in the skillet (in batches if necessary, being sure to spray the pan with cooking spray in between each batch) and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until brown and heated through. Serve on buns.

Tips:

  • For a crispier burger, pan-fry them over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or oats.
  • Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs to the burger mixture for extra flavor.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
  • If you're making the burgers ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Rice and bean burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They're packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients, and they're easy to make. Whether you're a vegetarian or meat-eater, you're sure to love these burgers. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give rice and bean burgers a try.
