While meat lovers look forward to a Memorial Day barbecue, many people might be looking for a vegetarian option.
With their high protein content, black beans lend meaty substance to veggie burgers. Too often, though, the patties turn to mush. So for this recipe from our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to assemble easy, weeknight meals, we went looking for ways to improve their texture. The answer was three-fold.
First, we only mash the beans coarsely so that when combined with other ingredients, we’re not left with a smooth paste. Second, we incorporate a significant amount of quinoa — two-thirds of a cup to one 15½-ounce can of beans — to vary texture with little pops of the nutty, high-protein grain (though technically it’s a seed). And finally, we pan-fry the patties until browned and crisp.
To ensure they don’t fall apart, we don’t rinse the beans; the starchy liquid clinging to them helps bind the mixture. We also add egg and panko breadcrumbs, and chilling the formed patties in the refrigerator for 15 minutes firmed them up for easier flipping in the hot skillet.
Flavored with scallions, cumin and paprika, these vegetarian burgers are terrific sandwiched between buns with your favorite fixings. But they’re also satisfying on their own with a tossed green salad. …

The Tranny Burger.
Slime burgers. Uh uh. No.
Why?
If you’re a vegetarian, what do you care if it tastes like meat?
If you’re not a vegetarian, why would you eat one?
Plus, it’s an overly processed product and I save that for treats of favorite junk food.
Pass.
If they hate real meat so much, why do they go to such lengths to make vegetables look, grill, and taste like meat? Shouldn’t they be proud that their foods DO NOT look like meat?
So much work to avoid and obvious solution: have a delicious beef hamburger with black beans on the side.
How dare those damn vegans use an egg. Keep your damn stupid liberal hands off our food!
Heinz? Sorry, but kerry and ter-ay-za already have enough dough.
HA HA!
Please don’t forget the cheese on mine.
Between vegan ears.
I have no respect for morons who won’t eat their veggies without first making them look like “the carcass of a dead animal” (as they used to call meat).
Yes, there is a wonderful veggie burger that tastes great and is made with nothing but water and grass. You take a field of grass with a brook running through it. Build a a fence around it. And add a calf. The calf will eat the grass and drink from the brook for about a year. Kill the calf and grind up the muscles. Grill and salt to taste.
For folks that forego vegetables they will create a Ribeye that tastes like Broccoli...
Yep, I would like that.
Heinz? Sorry, but kerry and ter-ay-za already have enough dough.

As far as I know, (verified with a quick Google search) Meat supplies all the kinds of protein that we need.
Humans have been carnivores since there were humans. Eating meat is normal and natural.
Hopefully himself.
Flame on, folks...
I like black bean patties. Either on a bun (with mustard & cheese, bare minimum), or a couple as an entree with other vegetables. Does not mean I won’t eat a hamburger (all the way), off the same grill, at the same time I eat the black bean “burger”.
Mindless NotMeat...no thanks.
Nobody here is against freedom of choice. If I feel like trying a black bean (or any other type of plant) “burger”, I eat it. My first preference in the vast majority of cases is of course beef.
