Mushroom and Black Bean Burger with American Cheese, Lettuce, Onion and Pickles
RECIPE COURTESY OF ANNE BURRELL
Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Patties:

One 15-ounce can black beans, drained
1 teaspoon cumin seeds 
Olive oil, to coat pan
1 small Spanish onion diced 
Kosher salt    
4 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
1 pound portobello and shiitake mix, stem and gills removed and finely chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup cracker crumbs, such as Saltine
1 to 2 large eggs, to bind
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon
8 slices American cheese

Pickle Mayo:

1 whole dill pickle, small dice
Splash pickle juice from jar
1/2 cup store-bought mayo
1/2 cup ketchup

To Serve:

Sandwich-size English muffins, toasted
Red onion, sliced
Pickle rounds
Iceberg lettuce, shredded

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

For the patties: Lay the beans on a sheet pan in a single layer and dry out in the oven for 15 minutes.

Toast the cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium-low heat until aromatic, and then grind in a spice grinder and reserve.

Add olive oil to coat a cast-iron skillet and sweat the onions over medium heat with a pinch of salt, a couple of minutes. Then add the garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the mushrooms with a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, a couple of minutes. Add to a food processor the sautéed veggies, dried beans, ground toasted cumin, 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs, 1 egg, smoked paprika, Worcestershire and Dijon and pulse to combine. Add the additional egg and more cracker crumbs if the mixture isn’t holding together when pressed.

Divide the mixture evenly to form 4 patties. Add olive oil to coat a cast-iron skillet. When hot, cook the patties a few minutes per side. Top each patty with 2 slices of cheese and place in the oven on a sheet tray to melt. 

For the pickle mayo: Mix in a bowl the diced pickles, pickle juice, mayo and ketchup.

To serve: Top the English muffins with pickle mayo, patties, sliced red onion, pickle rounds and iceberg lettuce.

[scarletozzy]

that thing is gonna fall apart after one bite

[khilanpethad]

It's not plant based as there is egg, cheese and mayo in the recipe.

[nattywho]

Damn…I wanted to see what they thought…lol. I love black bean burgers!

[emmelfun]

I don't eat beef so this burger would be perfect. It looks so good, especially with the homemade sauce. I still would prefer a nice hamburger bun but I would not turn this burger down.

[Scott_Silver]

Ok I’m sold on this besides the stupid choice of English muffin and lettuce part, just top it with more mushrooms!!!

[inujosha]

While I am not a fan of beans, I would certainly try this. It looks good.

[antmagor]

OK, so I’m not vegan but if I were cooking this recipe for my vegan friends, what would I use as a substitute for egg as a binder?

[blumpkinspicelatte]

Anne and the blonde haired dude must go to the same salon.

[phattomato]

This exactly why I stopped watching conventional television. Nobody actually acts or talks like this. It's so over the top stupid behavior.

[markhumphrey]

How stupid that they can not cut an onion, did they have no parents. Even a blind chicken gets peck of corn every now and then !

[allentrice]

Seriously, I'm not the vegetarian! But I think I need a little bit carb of that!

[angelatruly]

What can you use in lieu of mushrooms?

[CarolynnMc]

This looks really good. Really carb heavy though.

[calamityjade]

Not vegetarian with the egg in it. Just saying..

[willsmith]

The show, The worst cook in America is such a scripted fake show. I remember when the food network was worth watching. Now it’s just a bunch of reality crap shows.

[Patelfranck]

Happy New year 💐Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today

[Interactive-gpxf]

Anne should be ashamed and recognize, that students appear to be ‘oppressed’ by the instruction. The whole video looks awful 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
