I've been making veggie burgers and while they have been tastey, they've been really dry.
Last night I made some more, but this time thanks to a few suggestions given to me here, I did a few things differently, and they turned out great!
I added 2 tsp of olive oil to the mixture, and 6 or 7 tablespoons of tomato sauce. And instead of baking them on an open cookie sheet, I put them in a glass dish and covered it with foil until they were cooked, and then removed the foil and baked them for about 15 minutes until a nice thin crust formed.
They are moist inside and crispy outside.
Full recipe:
1 large can of black beans
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion
1 large carrot
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 or 3 egg whites (I used the real egg whites from a container)
approx 6 tablespoons tomato sauce
Finely chop the onion and carrot in a food processor. Move to a large bowl
Puree black beans with olive oil, tomato sauce and spices.
Combine veggies, bean mixture, eggs and bread crumbs. Mix well. Add more tomato sauce if the mixture is too dry, or more bread crumbs if it's too moist.
Form into patties. Place on a nonstick tray (spray bottom with pam). Cover completely with foil. Bake about 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil and bake 10 to 15 minutes until a light crust forms. Don't over do it because they will get dry.
You can add whatever veggie and spices that you want. Those were just my choices.
