Vegan bean burgers with very simple ingredients!

December 1, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s been a while I haven’t posted but I’m so excited for today’s recipe because it’s a very good one (I know I say that in almost all my posts but I mean, I like what I cook for myself!). This recipe is super easy because it has very few ingredients and it’s such a delicious & comfort meal for days where you just want to eat a super soft & flavor packed burger. So… here my own take at vegan bean burgers. As per usual, you can check out the video recipe right here:

Ingredients to make these vegan bean burgers

Making the patties

As I said, this one is an easy one. For the patty ingredients, you’ll need:

  • Kidney beans (cooked, I used half from a can, half cooked by my beautiful Instant pot)
  • Vegetables: Mushrooms, one onion & one garlic clove
  • Seasoning : Fines herbes & oregano, salt & pepper
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Special ingredient: Beetroots. I use beetroots to give that pink color, for this one I have used beetroot powder cause I have a lot and I want to finish it, but I have made these with real beetroots and it works out really well too, it will just make them a bit more sweet than if you use the powder.
  • Some “liquid” to give it a more moist texture: I used olive oil and a tiny bit of veggie broth. You can use water, yogurt even, a bit of milk. As you want. Just make sure you don’t add *too much* cause otherwise the patties will just fall apart.

That’s it. It’s just vegetables, some very basic spices/herbs and whatever you have at home to give it moist. The only “special” ingredient is beetroots but honestly, it’s pretty easy to get those and if you can’t get them, just take them out of the recipe. I only use them for the aesthetic of the final look.

For the final burgers

Ok, this is really the way you want to make them. Everyone likes their burgers their own way but for the ones I had, I used:

  • Caramelized red onion
  • Pickles
  • Cheese
  • Ketchup

That’s it. I don’t like to complicate my burgers too much.

Super easy vegan bean burgers

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time40 mins
Total Time45 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Vegan, Vegetarian
Keyword: burgers, kidney beans

Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 4 cups kidney bean burgers
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1 onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp Fines herbes
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 3 tbsp beetroot powder Add a bit more or less depending on the color you want. I wanted a bright pink-ish, so I added more.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 tbsp veggie broth Add one tbsp at a time and see if you need more moist or not.
  • Salt & pepper to your taste

Instructions

  • Add the kidney beans to the food processor and mix them for 1 minute. Add half of the mushrooms, the onion and the garlic and mix again till it's almost homogenous.
  • Add the remaining mushrooms, the seasoning and the beetroot powder and mix again.
  • If it is too thick, add the olive oil and broth one tbsp at a time while mixing until it's a bit more moist. When it has a semi-firm consistency, take it out of the food processor and put it in a bowl.
  • Add the breadcrumbs to the mix and mix well. The paste will become thicker. When it is on the thicker side (aka the patties can hold their shape on their own), start making the patties. To make the patties, take around 2 tbsp of the paste and shape them in a round shape. Coat with some breadcrumbs if you want to get a crusty feeling whean eating them.
  • I made 5 patties (very big ones) with the amount of paste I made. Once they are ready, leave them in the freezer (if you want to use them right away) for thirty minutes, or in the fridge for at least 2h if you wanna cook them later.
  • To cook the patties, add a bit of olive oil or butter to a pan and cook them at medium-high heat for 5 minutes each side.
  • You can use them now as you want for your burgers!

How I assembled my burgers

  • I cooked 5 minutes one side of a patty, then flipped and added one slice of cheese. Covered with a lid for 5 minutes while I prepared the rest of the burger.
  • What I did was: burger bun (bottom), cheese (melted on top), a bit of caramelized onions, then when the patty was ready, put the patty on top, then added this to the pan (with the fire off), covered with more caramelized onions, pickles & ketchup, and covered with the top burger bun and left there for 2 minutes, with the fire off). We ate ours with some french fries, super good.

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

✨ January wrap up ✨ Some very good books but s ✨ January wrap up ✨
Some very good books but some very bad ones too in January. My fave read was "Le refuges" by Jérôme Loubry, such a Great thriller. 
The worst was house of accidents, it could have been SO GOOD, yet it was...so bad.

How many did you read this month? And which one was your favourite?

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).
