Black Bean Burger Recipe

Introducing my take on the classic burger, crafted with wholesome black beans as the star ingredient. After experimenting with various online recipes, I've concocted a version that hits the mark for flavor and texture, offering a solid foundation that's both delicious and holds together beautifully during cooking.
To achieve the perfect balance of flavors and consistency, I begin with a savory base of onions, carrots, and celery, known as 'soffritto' in Italy or 'mirepoix' in France. Additionally, I incorporate dried mushrooms, ground into a fine powder, to infuse the burgers with rich umami notes - a key element that sets these burgers apart.
To ensure the ideal texture and minimize excess moisture in the batter, I opt to bake the black beans briefly in the oven. After straining off any liquid, I spread the beans on a baking tray and bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes. While this step is optional, I find it enhances the overall texture of the burgers.
While these black bean burgers are already satisfying, I aim to make them even firmer in future iterations without compromising their deliciousness. Join me on this culinary journey as I share my recipe for a flavorful and satisfying black bean burger that's sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
