Equipment
- Burger presser
Ingredients
To make patties:
- 2 canned black beans drained
- 2 yellow ripe plantains
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ red onion sliced and extras for topping
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup oatmeal
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 red chilli chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander finely chopped
- 2 leaves Lettuce sliced
- ½ Beef tomato sliced
- 1 tbsp Vegan mayo
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius. Peel one plantain, chop it into small chunks, and place it in a mixing bowl. Then stir in the black beans, oatmeal, onions, garlic, oil, and chilli until well combined. Using a potato masher, mash everything into a mushy texture.
- To make your patties, use a Burger Press kit. If you don't have one of these, scoop about 1/2 cup of the mixture into your hand and shape it into a round burger shape.
- Bake the patties for 25 minutes on a baking sheet. In the meantime, peel and cut the other plantain. Transfer to a baking sheet. Pour one tablespoon of vegetable oil over the plantain and coat it. Bake the plantains for 20 minutes in the oven.
- It's now time to assemble your burger. The brioche bun should be cut in half. Arrange the lettuce flat, then top with your patty, tomato slices, onion rings, baked plantains, salsa, vegan mayo, and more lettuce. Place the second half of the brioche bun on top. Enjoy!
