Coconut and Mango Black Bean Veggie Burgers image

The fun with my veggie burger craze continues! Black beans are a versatile, delicious, and nutrient-packed base to make veggie burgers with. I had tropical flavors in mind when I came up with it! You could try a vegan egg-like binder but I found I really needed at least egg whites to bind these.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 veggie burgers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, shredded (or use 1 tsp dried)
1/3 cup diced mango (I use the frozen kind, thawed out)
1/3 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
2 egg whites (or 1 whole egg)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use whole wheat)
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain the can of beans, or if you prefer to use dried beans, cook 2/3 dry cup of them ahead of time. Rinse and drain the can of chiles. Use 1 whole egg, or separate two eggs, discarding the yolks.
  • Put everything on the list into your food processor and chop until you reach the desired consistency-- a total puree, or a rougher chop that still has some whole pieces of beans in there.
  • Scoop the mixture into a bowl and refridgerate for 20-30 minutes, it's okay if it stays in longer.
  • Form patties with your hands, you'll get 4 large ones or 6 smaller ones (which I prefer because I eat them on English muffins.).
  • Heat some olive oil on a frying pan, adding more as needed (mine tends to evaporate after a few minutes) to cook each patty for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Serve on your favorite buns/breads with the fixings you like. Salsa and mango chutney are good with these. Even better, mango chutney with pepperjack cheese on a nice multigrain bun!
