You guys, these are so, so delicious! And cheap! I mean, it’s just beans, bread, carrots and a bunch of spices. But they turned out so tasty! Yum!

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 12 burger patties / 0.21 EUR per patty / 2.46 EUR for all)

For the batter:

3 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.04 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

3 garlic cloves (0.10 EUR)

½ tsp garlic powder (0.03 EUR)

1 tsp smoked paprika (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp dried oregano (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp ground coriander (0.03 EUR)

½ tsp dried chili flakes (0.03 EUR)

½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper (0.03 EUR)

1 and ½ tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

2 large carrots (0.20 EUR)

4 cups precooked black beans (0.80 EUR)

4 tbsp ketchup (0.13 EUR)

2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (0.13 EUR)

2 tbsp ground flax seeds (0.03 EUR)

1 burger bun (0.13 EUR)

½ cup plant based milk (0.20 EUR)

½ cup breadcrumbs (0.13 EUR)

Additional:

½ cup breadcrumbs for coating (0.13 EUR)

Oil for frying or roasting (0.07 EUR)

METHOD:

Place the burger bun in a small bowl and cover with milk. Allow to soak while you prepare everything else. Peel and finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Peel the carrot and grate it on a box grater. Add 3 tablespoons of oil to a small pan on a high heat and saute the onion for about five minutes until translucent. Now add in fresh garlic, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, coriander, chili, black pepper and salt and stir for a minute so the spices get fragrant. Dump in shredded carrot and cook for a few minutes until softened.

Pulse the beans with ketchup in a food processor until creamy. Transfer the beans to a bowl, together with carrot and onion mix, parsley and flax seeds. Using your hands, rip the soaked and softened burger bun to small pieces into this mix and give everything a very good stir. Gradually add in the breadcrumbs as needed, so the mix thickens up and is not too sticky. Taste and adjust seasonings, then refrigerate the batter for half an hour so all the flavors have time to combine and the mixture is easier to handle.

After 30 minutes shape the batter into burger patties and coat each patty with breadcrumbs on all sides. Fry the patties in a bit of oil on stovetop for a few minutes on each side, or lightly brush with oil, spread on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 200°C to crisp them up. Serve warm, adorned with burger paraphernalia of your choice.

Dragi prijatelji, ovi burgeri su prefini! I jeftini!!! U njima su samo grah, kruh, mrkve i hrpa začina, ali ispali su baš za prste polizati. Mljac!

SASTOJCI:

(Za 12 burgera / 1,54 kn po burgeru / 18,52 kn za sve)

Za smjesu:

3 žlice suncokretovog ulja (0,30 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka (0,75 kn)

½ žličice sušenog češnjaka u prahu (0,25 kn)

1 žličica dimljene slatke paprike (0,50 kn)

1 žličica sušenog origana (0,50 kn)

½ žličice sušenog korijandera u prahu (0,25 kn)

½ žličice sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,25 kn)

½ žličice svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,25 kn)

1 i ½ žličica soli (0,02 kn)

2 velike mrkve (1,50 kn)

4 šalice kuhanog crnog graha (6,00 kn)

4 žlice kečapa (1,00 kn)

2 žlice svježeg nasjeckanog peršina (1,00 kn)

2 žlice mljevenih sjemenki lana (0,20 kn)

1 žemlja (1,00 kn)

½ šalice sojinog ili drugog biljnog mlijeka (1,50 kn)

½ šalice krušnih mrvica (1,00 kn)

Dodatno:

½ šalice krušnih mrvica za paniranje (1,00 kn)

Ulje za pečenje ili prženje (0,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Žemlju stavite u malu zdjelicu i zalijte s mlijekom, pa ju ostavite da se namače dok pripremite sve ostalo. Ogulite i fino nasjeckajte luk i češnjak, te ogulite i naribajte mrkve. U malu tavicu dodajte 3 žlice ulja pa na jakoj vatri kratko prodinstajte luk dok ne bude staklast. Na luk dodajte svježi i sušeni češnjak, papriku, origano, korijander, čili, papar i sol, te promiješajte i kuhajte minutu, samo da začini zamiriše. Ubacite na to ribanu mrkvu, te kratko dinstajte da omekša.

Grah skupa sa kečapom propulsirajte u multipraktiku da bude kremast. Preselite grah u zdjelu skupa sa dinstanom mrkvom, peršinom i mljevenim lanom. Rukama u to nadrobite namočenu žemlju, pa sve jako dobro promiješajte. Postepeno dodajte krušnih mrvica, koliko bude trebalo da se smjesa zgusne i ne bude jako ljepljiva. Takvu gotovu smjesu stavite u hladnjak na pola sata kako bi se arome sjedinile i kako bi smjesom bilo lakše rukovati.

Nakon 30 minuta od smjese formirajte burgere, pa svaki burger obložite krušnim mrvicama. Burgere kratko popecite sa obje strane na malo ulja u tavi, ili ih jednostavno premažite sa malo ulja te ubacite u pećnicu zagrijanu na 200°C na 20 minuta da se malo zahrskaju. Poslužite toplo, sa vama najdražim dodatcima.
