Bean burger magic: Win over meat lovers with this tasty recipe

Anyone who claims that vegetarian burgers are boring and tasteless has not yet tried these patties. When they appear on the table, even the most ardent meat enthusiasts who usually prefer beef eagerly reach for them. The heart of this recipe is the insanely delicious bean patty. It’s worth having this recipe up your sleeve, not just for when vegetarian guests drop by.

Red beans are a great meat substitute in homemade burgers. They are an excellent source of plant protein, which is essential for the proper functioning of the body. Interestingly, they contain more protein than meat. They also do not contain saturated fatty acids, which are responsible for the development of heart diseases and atherosclerosis.

They have a low glycemic index and plenty of vitamins and nutrients, such as iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, B vitamins, and folic acid. You can make many delicious dishes from beans, not just patties. They work perfectly in soups, stews, salads, pâtés, and hummus, and a bean patty is a great replacement for a beef burger.

There’s a lot going on in this sandwich – a tasty patty, delicious toppings, and sauces. Everyone loves it, and long after the party, I received requests for the bean patty recipe.

Ingredients:

Burgers:

• 1 pound of canned red beans
• 2 ounces of rolled oats
• ½ cup of chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon of cumin
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

Step 2: Form 4 large patties from the mixture.

Step 3: Thinly slice the red onion and zucchini using a mandoline. For the zucchini, slice lengthwise to create long pieces. Place them on the grill, then drizzle with olive oil and honey.
