Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed 15 ounce
  • 4 slices of bread, small diced
  • ½ teaspoon of garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon of onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon of chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon of cumin
  • 2 Tablespoons of nutritional yeast
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon of minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced rosemary

Instructions

  • In a food processor place all ingredients except for the fresh herbs and process until well incorporated.
    process of post processing white bean mixture against white surface
  • Place Bean mixture into a bowl and fold in the fresh herbs.
    process of mashed mixture of White Bean Burgers in a white bowl
  • In a skillet, add olive oil and heat on medium heat.
  • Portion the bean mixture into 1/3 cups and form into patties that are ¼ to ½" thick and place into the hot pan.
  • Cook until lightly brown each side.

Notes

  • Drain beans thoroughly: Before putting the beans in the food processor, drain them thoroughly. Too much liquid in your mixture will turn it mushy and will prevent it from holding its shape. If this happens, add more dry bread to absorb the water.
  • Mix just enough: Do not over-process the white bean mixture, just enough to get everything well incorporated so they stick together when formed.  It is still nice to have a little texture when you bite on those burgers.
  • Reduce spice: You can omit the chili powder if you want to make these burgers kid-friendly.
  • Let the burgers cook: Leave the patties in the pan undisturbed for a few minutes until you see the sides browning and turning crisp. Flipping them too early can make them fall apart and crumble.
  • Freeze first: If you want your patties to be completely set and compact, place them in the freezer for an hour before cooking.
