The Best Bean Burger Ever. Period.


If any of you watch the food network, you'd know that Guy Fieri isn't know for his vegetarian offerings. That's why I was suprised when he had a show last November devoted to this veggie burger recipe, which I must say is by far the easiest and best tasting veggie burger I have ever had. This recipe is so good, so perfect, I haven't even altered any ingredients, though I am tempted to put some fresh cilantro in them next time I make them. According to reviewers on the FN website, these burgers freeze well (which would be done before pan-frying them) and they will also hold up on a grill. Also, I didn't have all the seasonings on hand, so feel free to play with those as well.

Makes three large patties.

Saute until translucent
2 oz of Olive Oil
3 T of diced red onion

2 T of diced black olives
2 T of diced red bell pepper
1 t of diced jalapeno

1 1/2 T of minced garlic

1 T of diced artichoke

Meanwhile, mash with a potato masher, or just process
1/2 cup of garbanzo beans
1/2 cup of white beans

1/2 cup of black beans

Add slightly cooled sauted veggies and
3/4 cup of rolled oats
1/2 t of Hungarian Paprika
1/2 t of chili pepper

1 t of dried oregano

1 T of chopped fresh parsley

1/2 t of red chili flakes

1/2 t of cumin

1/2 t of celery salt

1/4 t of ground sage

2 t of seasoned bread crumbs

1 egg

Make into 3 large or 4 small patties. Refrigerate 30-60 minutes.
Pan fry patties in a few ounces of olive oil over medium heat. Do both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side until slightly brown.

Deliciousness. . . . .
