An indulgent vegan burger with black bean steak, avocado, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce.
Ingredients
- For the black bean steaks:
- 1 can (400g) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 cup gluten-free bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. of smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- For assembly:
- 2 gluten-free burger buns
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- A few lettuce leaves
- Slices of red onion
- Vegan mayonnaise (optional)
Preparation steps
- In a large bowl, roughly mash the black beans using a fork or potato masher. Leave a few pieces for texture.
- Add chopped red onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, flour, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to the crushed black beans. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
- Divide the dough in two and form two burger steaks.
- In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the black bean steaks for 5-7 minutes on each side, until browned and crispy.
- Meanwhile, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread vegan mayonnaise on the buns (if using), then add the lettuce, black bean steak, tomato slices, avocado and red onion.
- Serve immediately with sweet potato fries or salad.
Chef’s tip
For a firmer steak, you can add a tablespoon of ground flax seeds mixed with three tablespoons of water (let stand for 5 minutes) to the dough. This acts as an additional binder.
