Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumI just made eggplant and black bean veggie burgers from scratch.
I am not a good cook; I just throw things together. These came out good.
Our eggplants this year turned out to be long and very thin. I half-peeled a dozen, threw them in the chopper, did same with an onion and a drained can of black beans and three jalapeños we grew. Drained it some through a sieve, added two eggs and a little brown sugar. It was too wet so added bread crumbs.
Just fried up a patty and it sure looks and tastes like a burger to me. 🙂

(54,990 posts)slice longwise between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick. brush (or spray) olive oil on both sides, sprinkle with salt pepper and lots of crumbled oregano. grill over gas or coals until crispy (or however you like)
serve hot with sour cream, tzatziki, or similar cool creamy dip

I often add mushrooms for a little extra flavor

My favorite variation: one can each of chickpeas and black beans (I'd use fava beans if our local store carried them), topped w/tahini sauce (basically, 2:1 tahini:lemon juice). The texture is nothing like felafel, despite similar ingredients, but felafel inspired my choices.
