You can store the Bean Burgers in the fridge for up to two days. You can also freeze them to have them ready to use.
You can also use dried beans, remembering to soak them in cold water overnight before cooking them the next day.
You can choose to use just one onion or eliminate both the onion and the garlic clove if you don’t like them. Additionally, you can add the herbs and spices you prefer, such as oregano, basil, thyme, chili pepper, ginger, curry, turmeric, etc.
To make gluten-free burgers, simply replace the breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or about 3.5 oz of potato puree.
You can also cook the bean burgers in the oven or an air fryer. For oven cooking, bake them at 392°F for about 15-20 minutes, or in the air fryer also at 392°F for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
As an accompaniment for the bean burgers, you can make a tomato sauce by sautéing a garlic clove in oil in a pot. Add the tomato pulp and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes. At the end of cooking, season with 3 tablespoons of black olive pâté, salt, and pepper, and blend the sauce.
Alternatively, you can choose to accompany them with a mixed salad or grilled vegetables, or make delicious sandwiches filling them with a leaf of green lettuce, a slice of tomato, a slice of cheese, even vegan, and a sauce like hummus, tomato sauce, or yogurt sauce.
