This is an easy, homemade plantbased version of fast food, very rich in fibers and proteins from blackbeans. It doesn’t require a long period of cooking and preparation if the buns are already pre made or store bought. Food-processor ensures that preparation time will be shorter because of cutting onion and fresh paprika and for blending together all the ingredients. It is nessesary to soak the beans in water the night before.
From this amount of burger ingredients there should be 4 large burger portions, or 2 extra large portions. Stable consistency of burger patties is due to presence of psyllium which has a role of binder, therefore patties don’t fall apart while frying. Use a large lid or alufoil as a cover for the frying pan while frying patties on both sides.
Serve blackbean burgers warm with fresh potato chips, parsnip fries or potato fries, as well as with red-root vegetables fries (made of beetroot and sweet potato).
Those blackbean burgers taste perfect with chili sauce, vegan aioli or mustard.
