Homemade vegan cheeseburgers made from beans
Have you ever made your own vegan burgers? You can do this very well from legumes and vegetables. That way, you have a healthier plant-based burger on your plate than the processed ones from the supermarket. This vegan cheeseburger is made from Cannellini beans. Not available in your supermarket? Substitute them for other white beans.
Kitchenware
- large frying pan
- good pan with (environmentally friendly) non-stick coating
Ingredients
- 2 el curry powder
- 1 el ground cumin seed
- 1 red onion in small pieces
- 2 toes garlic in small pieces
- 2 el tomato paste
- 400 gr Cannellini beans can, drained and rinsed
- 200 gr fresh spinach washed and sliced
- 6 sweet and sour gherkins in small pieces
- black pepper and salt
- 2 el Garam Masala
- 100 gr vegan cheese grater
- 100 gr cashew nuts
- 5 Medjool dates
- 100 gr oatmeal
- 100 gr maize flour
- tortilla chips
- vegan (cheddar) cheese slices
- ketchup
- vegan mayo
- vegan burger buns
- lamb's lettuce
Instructions
- Warm the curry and ground cumin seeds in the frying pan until fragrant. In this, fry the sliced red onion in a little olive oil or a splash of water until it colours.
- Add the tomato puree and fry briefly. Add the sliced garlic and fry briefly. Add the chopped spinach, Cannellini beans and gherkin pieces and stir until the spinach shrinks.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the vegan cheese grater and Garam Masala. Leave the mixture to cool.
- Meanwhile, blend the cashews, dates and oats in a food processor and add to the slightly crushed (with a masher) cooled bean mixture.
- Add the cornmeal and, with slightly damp hands, knead six equally thick burgers from the mixture. Pass the burgers through oatmeal or mashed tortilla chips.
- Fry the burgers in a good pan (with eco-friendly non-stick coating). Fry well browned on both sides and at the end place a square vegan cheese slice on the burger. Flip this again very briefly and quickly turn back again for a good melted vegan cheese.
- I topped this sandwich with corn salad, homemade vegan cheeseburger and ketchup + vegan mayonnaise. The vegan mayonnaise ‘Remia Mayolijn’ is a tip.
