COCONUT CURRY BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• BURGER PREP:.
• In a food processor, blend black beans and all ingredients (except the bread crumbs and tofu meat)until a smooth consistency. Spatula ingredients into a large bowl and gradually incorporate breadcrumbs into mixture. Add tofu meat and stir to combine.
• Add more bread crumbs if mixture is too loose. If mixture is too thick, add coconut milk.
• Form mixture into 6 patties and place on wax paper. Put in freezer for up to 30 minutes for patties to set.
• Once set, heat a grill pan or frying pan with a small amount of non-stick spray. Grill or fry the burgers about 4-5 minutes on each side or until brown. Be careful when flipping as the burgers can be fragile.
• Set each burger aside in a baking pan and place in a warm (175-200 degrees) oven until ready to use (not more than a half hour).
• SAUCE PREP:.
• Put peanut butter and all of the ingredients into a sauce pan on low-medium heat and let melt, stirring often. Let lightly simmer for about 1 minute then reduce heat to very low and heat for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• TOPPINGS PREP:.
• Slice and dice herbs (cilantro and mint) and veggies.
• To compose the burgers:.
• Place a black bean patty on each of the bottom buns. Top with a generous drizzle of the peanut sauce, a spoonful of the carrot/cucumber mixture, a couple leaves of mint and cilantro, and a sprinkle of green onion.
• Top with the bun top and have some napkins handy.

COCONUT AND MANGO BLACK BEAN VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the can of beans, or if you prefer to use dried beans, cook 2/3 dry cup of them ahead of time. Rinse and drain the can of chiles. Use 1 whole egg, or separate two eggs, discarding the yolks.
• Put everything on the list into your food processor and chop until you reach the desired consistency-- a total puree, or a rougher chop that still has some whole pieces of beans in there.
• Scoop the mixture into a bowl and refridgerate for 20-30 minutes, it's okay if it stays in longer.
• Form patties with your hands, you'll get 4 large ones or 6 smaller ones (which I prefer because I eat them on English muffins.).
• Heat some olive oil on a frying pan, adding more as needed (mine tends to evaporate after a few minutes) to cook each patty for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Serve on your favorite buns/breads with the fixings you like. Salsa and mango chutney are good with these. Even better, mango chutney with pepperjack cheese on a nice multigrain bun!

BLACK BEAN BURGER

Steps:

• Put the wholemeal bread and walnuts in a food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-10 mins until soft. Cut in half and scrape the cooked centres into the food processor with the bread and walnut crumbs. Make sure the beans are drained thoroughly then add them to the processor with the paprika, cumin, onion granules, and tomato puree. Season generously and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and holding together. Divide the mix into 4 patties and chill for 20 mins to firm up.
• Meanwhile make the side salad by mixing the cucumber, carrot, coriander, lime juice and rapeseed oil together. Season and put to one side.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties and fry for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and hot through. Place a small handful of rocket into each burger bun. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, and then avocado. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or burger sauce of your choice. Serve with the carrot and cucumber salad alongside.
