Why use Adzuki beans in burgers or patties

Adzuki beans, often hailed as a nutritional powerhouse, take center stage in vegetarian and vegan diets, particularly when crafting delicious burger patties. These small, crimson-hued legumes have been a staple in Asian cuisine for centuries, revered for their robust flavor and exceptional nutrient profile. Packed with protein, fiber, and an array of essential vitamins and minerals, adzuki beans offer a wholesome alternative to traditional meat-based proteins.

When incorporated into burger patties, adzuki beans bring a unique texture and hearty taste that closely resembles ground beef, making them a go-to choice for those seeking plant-based options without sacrificing flavor or satiety. Their versatility allows them to be combined with various seasonings, herbs, and spices to create a diverse range of burger options, from smoky barbecue to zesty southwestern flavors.

In addition to being a flavorful addition to vegetarian and vegan diets, adzuki bean burger patties align well with macrobiotic principles, emphasizing balance and harmony in one’s food choices.

Ingredients

 

US (Imperial)Metric

 

1x2x3x

• ⅔ cup Adzuki beans previously soaked for at least 5 hours (it is best to let them soak overnight)
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 carrot grated
• 1 cup iceberg lettuce chopped
• 1 egg Or for vegan version: 3 Tbsp ground flax seeds + 3 Tbsps water
• 2 Tbsps parsley fresh, chopped
• 1 cup breadcrumbs or chickpea flour, you can also use regular wheat flour – you’ll need it if the composition is too moist
• salt and ground pepper to taste
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1 Tbsp smoked paprika

Instructions

 

• Mix the ground flax and water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
• Put the previously soaked adzuki beans in a pot and cover them with water. Let them boil for 40 minutes (or until tender) and don’t forget to add 1 tsp baking soda in the water. This way the beans won’t cause bloating and will get soft faster.
• When ready, drain very well the adzuki beans. Put them in a large bowl and using a vertical mixer, mash them a little. Not too much. Whole azuki beans give the burgers a very nice texture.
• Add chopped onion, parsley, grated carrot, salt, pepper, spices, egg/flax egg and chopped salad leaves. Blend them well together using a fork.
• Now, the composition has to be sticky and easy to shape the patties. If it is too moist you can add some breadcrumbs or chickpea/rice/soy flour. Start with 2 tbsps and add more if needed.
• Heat some oil in a non-stick frying pan. 1tbsp of oil is enough. Make the burger patties and put them on the pan to cook. Let them cook about 2 minutes on each side.
• Serve with anything you like. (tip: they’re great with mustard! yum!)
