Burger always go! At least that is my attitude and what about you? It is the middle of April and when I look out of the window I see sun. Yuhuu! Finally, it’s over with the cold, gray days and the long winter coats. It’s time to enjoy the sun and fire up the grill. I promise you I will bring you another “grill ready” burger shortly. With this Recipe I have not yet tested grilling on a real charcoal grill, but will do so shortly. Do you have tips, tricks and suggestions for vegan grilling? Yes, then please share your experience at the very bottom in the comments.
A vegan burger with cocoa? Does it taste good?
The idea with the cocoa came to me in the “passing”, because I discovered another savory recipe with cocoa beans. It’s worth a try, I thought, and off we went. Black beans and oatmeal form the basis for the pattie. After all, there always has to be something that creates a good bond and in my kitchen, oatmeal has definitely stood the test of time.
Here are my top 3 binders for vegan burger patties:
- Oatmeal = has excellent absorption and swelling properties and therefore provides excellent binding. You can buy ready-made oatmeal, but I grind it myself with my food processor. Note for intolerances: There are also gluten-free oatmeal in all well-stocked (organic) supermarkets.
- Flax meal = I discovered only recently and is made from the seeds of the flax plant. It is rich in fiber and vegetable protein. During production, the partially oiled seeds are ground and the ingredients are thus particularly well broken down. Its good swelling properties make it a wonderful fit for making burger patties.
- Black beans = provide a great solid substance and are particularly high in easily digestible protein. In addition, beans contain a lot of vitamins, including B1, B2 and B6. In addition, there is plenty of magnesium, potassium, iron and phosphorus.
This burger recipe also impresses with delicious steamed vegetables and the numerous spices. As a special highlight, I add a handful of walnuts to the dough for a tart and crunchy note.
It’s vegan time baby
Now there is really only one thing left to do. Heat the pan, Burger bun slice and prepare the side dishes. Oh yes, inviting a few friends is sometimes also a very fine thing.
The hearty vegan burger with black beans and cocoa is:
- Easy to manufacture
- aromatic
- versatile
- Firm consistency
- Extremely tasty
What goes with this Burger ? Smoky coconut chips, French fries, homemade burger patties, and a Favorite Salad . If you want to make a low carb version of this, then I recommend replacing the rolls with large lettuce leaves.
Well did you get a craving for this hearty vegan burger? I wish you a lot of fun with the re-cooking and of course I am happy about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
