How to Prepare Grilled Black Bean Chipotle Veggie Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat a 12-inch non-stick pan on medium-high, toast walnut pieces for 3 minutes. Transfer toasted walnuts to food processor and pulse until a crumbly meal is achieved, place walnut crumble in a large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, keep the same pan on the heat, add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 cup chopped onion, sauté on high for 6 minutes.
  3. Add all the spices and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the onion, mix well and continue cooking 2 more minutes.
  4. Transfer onion and spice mix to the same bowl with the walnut crumble
  5. Keep the pan on high, add the whole can of rinsed drained black beans, lightly spray with cooking oil, dry roast the black beans for 8 minutes, this will concentrate their flavor and reduce the moisture content of the burger, which prevents the veggie burger from having a mushy texture. Add 1/2 of the toasted black beans to our onion, spice and walnut mixture. (other half will go in food processor).
  6. Place remaining half of toasted black beans along with all other veggie burger "dough" ingredients in food processor whirl away, pulsing, stop, scrape down sides, and pulse repeatedly until a sticky dough forms.
  7. Combine the veggie burger "dough" and crumble in one large bowl. knead the ingredients together, combining them well, it will look like the mixture is too dry, do not add water, just keep kneading, incorporating the crumble into the dough.
  8. Let this combined "dough" ball sit for 20 minutes in the refrigerator, to let it become more stiff to handle. Not a necessary step, but it's recommended.
  9. Measured the dough into 3-ounce balls — this recipe yields 7 burgers. Place plastic wrap into a 1/4 measuring cup. Press the burger dough firmly into the measuring cup, it will create a heaping 1/4 cup. Then pop the well-pressed dough out, or use the plastic wrap to pull it out, and form it into a burger shape using hands, place on a greased plate or on parchment paper. repeat with all remaining burgers.
  10. Preheat your grill on high for at least 7-10 minutes. You can use an indoor or outdoor grill.
  11. Spray the grill and the burgers liberally with cooking oil spray.
  12. Place burgers on grill, do not shift them around, cook 4 minutes, gently press burgers down with spatula.
  13. Spray the burgers again, gently flip with a spatula, gently press burgers down with spatula, and grill 4 minutes more.
