Vegan Hamburgers
American’s favorite foods: Hamburgers and Pizza. But if you are Gluten Free and Vegan, there are not many choices at all for us!!
Personally, I can live without hamburgers, but pizza is another story ….
Anyway, thanks to my online Gluten Free Vegan friends, I have found recipes for BOTH Hamburgers and Pizza that are Gluten Free and Vegan!
The first is Vegan & Gluten-Free red bean burgers! by Sophie33

| Vegan & Gluten-Free red bean burgers! |
- 2 cans of organic red kidney beans, well-rinsed under water & well-drained
- 1 teaspoon of dried shallots powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt + 4 grins extra
- 15 grins of finely milled black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons of smoked picanté paprika (The Spanish smoked picanté version )
- 1/3 cup of smaller buckwheat flakes (gluten-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon of a fruity EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
- In a large bowl add the red kidney beans. Wit the help of a fork, mash the beans leaving a few whole or mostly whole.
- Add dried shallots, dried garlic, salt, pepper & smoked picanté paprika, and mix well.
- Mix in 1/3 cup of buckwheat flakes. The mixture will be a bit dry so add that 1/2 teaspoon of fruity EVOO, and mix again.
- Add the salt and pepper to taste.
- Shape into 4 burger patties. Place them spaced apart on a clean plate & place cling film over them. Place into the fridge for later use (they tend to fry better after refrigerated for an hour or two.) or fry them instantly in a hot non-stick pan for a few minutes on each side or until browned on both sides.
- Take your gluten free toasted hamburger bun and smear some tasty vegenaise on the bottom of the bun. Add a few lettuce leaves, your tasty vegan red bean burger, a slice of tomato, some fried red onion rings, a dollop of ketchup & close with your top bun!
I was given a tip awhile back about baking vegan burgers. When they are fried, it is difficult to keep them together. But if you place them on a generous greased cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip and bake another 5 or so minutes.
