Spent Grain Veggie Burger
Yield: 4 burgers
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped onion, divided into two
- 1/2 cup spent grain, wet
- 1 1/2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Cook half of onion with a dash of salt in a splash of water in a small pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add spent grain and cook, covered, over low heat 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in beans and soy sauce.
- Mash or food process spent grain mixture mixture, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and remaining onion until finely chopped.
- Form rounded 1/2 cups of mixture into 4 (3 1/2-inch-diameter) patties. Chill at least 10 minutes.
- Spray oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat, then cook patties, carefully turning once, about 8 minutes total.
Using black beans as an alternative to meat might be a unique experience, as its texture is different to the original. I'm sure the vegans out there will love it, nonetheless. Though, as other with dishes, you could replace a certain ingredient to change the experience.
