The secret behind this brilliant veggie burger recipe was right in front of us. As Joe Yonan writes, “In the ongoing quest for the perfect veggie burger recipe, at a certain point a realization occurs: wasn’t the perfect veggie burger created long ago—in falafel?” Yonan swaps out chickpeas for black beans and adds chipotle, cilantro and sweet potato to create a perfectly crisp-on-the-outside, tender-(but not mushy!)-on-the-inside veggie burger. GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/396aENu

1 cup dried black beans, soaked overnight and drained

Store-bought vegan cookies are more common than you might think—you just have to know where to look. From soft-baked to crunchy, bite-sized to palm-sized, here […]

I have a copy of your book Joe. Really enjoying it! I hope you come back and make more of your recipies from 'Cool Beans' on this channel.
Wish there was more information shared on how to treat/deal with the black beans. I followed the instructions on soaking the beans and then did exactly as they did in the video for blending them in a food processor and they wouldn't break down like chickpeas normally would whenever I make falafels.
I'm glad I read up on some things and decided to compost what I had as I didn't like the sound of possibly giving myself food poisoning due to undercooking the beans.
If you get this to work for you, props. But for me it isn't worth the risk of retrying it and I'll just stick to the falafel recipe I know and love already.
she is really boring and uncomfortable to watch
I love black bean burgers and will definitely try this recipe. We have one ready-made here that also adds cashews and smoked paprika, so I will definitely try Joe's original but also a variation with cashews. 🙂
I made these today. They certainly are the best veggie burgers I've ever had. Also the first ones I've ever made. So happy I tried this recipe 🙂 Thank you!!
I made this today. It was a hit! Did not have enough sweet potato so I added a couple of Yukon golds to supplement. The patty was not mushy and the outside was crisp. Will definitely make it again.
Great interview! You can tell they are enjoying each other’s company. I want to go to there
Hi, the amount of aquafaba is unclear do I need 1/4 cup?
This was so BORING…Please this was so not genius recipe.
"…and then I had to stop saying again" Love it.
Whoa 😳 I didn’t realize this was a thing. I’m impressed
I just made it and its FANTASTIC!! I do not like vegy burgers for the very reasons mentioned! Those are so so good!! Buying cool beans =)
set the playback speed to 1.5x, you're welcome.
Looks very very yummy and I have to try it…
I also have to look up how to purchase Joe's book here in Germany..
English/American books are soo much more expensive than in Germany (and if you buy them over here even more)..
Any advice??
And Joe : since my childhood I'm a beanlover too!Going nuts for the taste/mouthfeeling..
That must be something very archaic because there are soo many bean based diets all over the world🤔💖
Made this, it was good! Will probably use this technique for any future black bean burgers I make. Usually black bean burger recipes have a grain in it to dry it out, I like that this one doesn't!
This recipe sounds amazing. Definitely making this week
I wonder if they would freeze well after cooking
I thought that putting mashed sweet potato into store bought falafel mix would be great, that the warm, Middle Eastern spices would marry well with sweet potato. Yes, it did! I tried it tonight and we loved it! Highly recommend! ❤️
This looks almost ridiculously delicious, can't wait to try it.
ThANK YOU for this video and having the actual author/creative on the episode. Spotlighting genius! Good work and totally inspired.
The valley girl-ness of this video is too fuckin much.
And I don’t mean her.
I am not vegetarian and can't wait to try this recipe!!! I love all the components like black beans, garlic, cilantro, lemon, sweet potato and chipotle. So I loved him and his book so I will order it soon and enjoy everything there is to offer. Thanks
First off, these look delicious and I will be making them soon. But seriously, you guys have the most chill cooking channel out there. I go into a state of zen watching every video. Keep it up. Unfortunately, it means you can't ever have Gordon Ramsay on your show though.
