Easy Bean Burger with Mustard Mayo
Description
This recipe forms bean-based burger patties by combining refried beans with chopped coriander and breadcrumbs, lightly floured and pan-fried to a golden crisp. The cooking process ensures a crunchy surface with a moist, dense center. While the patties cook, onions are caramelized to add sweetness and depth.
The dish is assembled by layering fresh rocket leaves, the bean burger, tangy mustard mayonnaise, caramelized onions, and sliced gherkin pickles on toasted burger buns. The mustard mayo adds a sharp, creamy contrast to the savory bean patties and sweet onions.
This bean burger provides an accessible meatless meal that balances textures and bright flavors. It can be served as a satisfying lunch or casual dinner, making use of simple pantry ingredients and fresh herbs.
