Meaty Bean Burger

14 August 2018 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

Here ya go, the secret to a good bean burger: do not take canned beans but use dried beans that you soak overnight and process the next day into burger meat. You will be amazed how meaty the texture of the burger will be! We created this recipe especially for Oxfam Novib.

Serves 5-6

INGREDIENTS

Paddies
250 g dried capucijners (pea) from a bag (not canned!)
1 medium onion, peeled and in coarse pieces
2 garlic cloves, peeled
5 tbsp soy sauce or shoyu
10 tbsp of water
3 tbsp olive oil
1/4 bulb grated nutmeg
a lot of freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp of oregano
3 tbsp chickpea flour
2.50 oz semi-dry tomatoes cut into strips
2.50 oz kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/2 bunch of basil, coarsely chopped
oil for baking

Basil mayo
4 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
2 tbsp thick soy quark
1/2 bunch of basil, finely chopped

For the sandwiches
1 zucchini
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
pepper and salt
2-3 tomatoes, thinly sliced
5 to 6 vegan buns
arugula

PREPARATION

Paddies
Start the evening before. Soak the capucijners in a lot of water overnight. Drain the next day and rinse. Transfer them to a food processor or powerful blender. Add onion, garlic, shoyu, water, oil, nutmeg, pepper and oregano. Puree until the mixture is finely ground. Then stir in the chickpea flour, tomatoes, olives and basil (do not puree). Heat a layer of oil in the frying pan. Divide the mixture into 5 to 6 portions. Fry the burgers over medium heat on both sides (use frying rings so they stay in shape), and give them some time to cook perfectly; about 10 minutes per side.

Basil mayo
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.

Formatting sandwiches
Wash the zucchini and cut lengthwise into very thin strips, for example with a cheese slicer, mandolin or razor-sharp chef’s knife. Put the strips in a large bowl and add olive oil, crushed garlic cloves and salt and pepper. Mix briefly. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Grill the zucchini on both sides until those grill stripes appear. Cut the bread rolls open and spread the sauce over all halves. Place the burgers on the bottom and garnish with slices of tomato, the grilled zucchini and some arugula. Put the cap on and serve.


Meaty Bean Burger

Bam! Hierbij het geheim voor een goede bonenburger: neem geen gare bonen uit blik maar gebruik gedroogde bonen die je een dag of nacht weekt en de volgende dag verwerkt tot burger vlees. Je zult versteld staan hoe diep van smaak en vlezig deze burger is! We creëerden dit recept speciaal voor Oxfam Novib!

Voor 5-6 personen

INGREDIENTEN

Paddies
250 g gedroogde kapucijners uit een zak (dus niet uit blik!)
1 middelgrote ui, gepeld en in grove stukken
2 tenen knoflook, gepeld
5 el shoyu
10 el water
3 el olijfolie
1/4 bol geraspte nootmuskaat
veel versgemalen zwarte peper
1/2 tl oregano
3 el kikkererwtenmeel
75 g semi-droge tomaten, in repen gesneden
75 g kalamata olijven, onpit en grof gehakt
1/2 bosje basilicum, grof gehakt
olie om in te bakken

Basilicum mayo
4 el vegan mayonaise
2 el dikke sojakwark
1/2 bosje basilicum, fijngehakt

Opmaak broodjes
1 courgette
1 el olijfolie
1 teen knoflook, gepeld en geplet
peper en zout
2-3 tomaten, in plakken
5 à 6 vegan broodjes, bijvoorbeeld Italiaanse bollen
rucola

BEREIDING

Paddies
Begin een ochtend, of nog beter, avond van tevoren. Week de kapucijners in veel water de hele dag of nacht. Giet ze na het weken af, en spoel af. Doe ze over in een keukenmachine, foodprocessor of krachtige blender. Voeg ook ui, knoflook, shoyu, water, olie, nootmuskaat, peper en oregano toe. Pureer tot de kapucijners helemaal fijngemalen zijn. Roer vervolgens het kikkererwtenmeel, zontomaten, olijven en basilicum door het mengsel (dus niet mee pureren). Verhit een laagje olie van enkele millimeters in een koekenpan. Verdeel het mengsel in 5 à 6 porties en schep deze in kookringen of hittebestendige koekstekers in de pan om perfect ronde burgers te maken. Bak de burgers op middelhoog vuur aan beide zijden, en geef ze ruimschoots de tijd om perfect gaar te worden; ca. 10 minuten per zijde.

Basilicum mayo
Meng alle ingrediënten in een kom.

Opmaak broodjes
Was de courgette en schaaf deze in de lengte in heel dunne repen, met een kaasschaaf, mandoline of vlijmscherp koksmes bijvoorbeeld. Doe de repen in een ruime kom en voeg de olijfolie, geplette teen knoflook en peper en zout toe. Meng kort door. Verhit een grillpan op hoog vuur. Grill de courgette aan beide zijden tot er mooie grillstrepen ontstaan. Snijd de tomaten in dunne plakken.
Snijd de broodjes open en verdeel de saus over alle helften. Leg de burgers op de onderkanten en garneer met schijfjes tomaat, de gegrilde courgettelinten en een pluk rucola. Zet het kapje erop en serveer de burgers uit.

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).

Dear peeps! It has been so long! How are you all d Dear peeps! It has been so long! How are you all doing?!

We have been absent for almost a year on this page. How time flies. When C hit and the measures influenced our lives as entrepreneurs we had to rearrange some stuff. We did not sit still though. Maartje moved to another city, published an amazing vegan baking book Taart ende Koeck and got pregnant ;-). Lisette co-wrote the book DOG.EAT.PLANT., became part of the rescue operation and project @mymomsam and unfortunately lost her biggest friend in the whole world, Mr. Pooh.

WHAT.A.JOURNEY. Life is just miraculous and everything always changes.

In January we embarked on the journey of making a vegan family cookbook which had been a long dream of ours. It turned out to be a magical process. Everything flowed like never before. Also, the book took on a whole new meaning for both of us. On the day we started shooting the recipes Maartje shared the extraordinary news of expecting a baby and after the last day of shooting little Pooh, Lisette's biggest family member passed away.

Making the book was an emotional project, but not in a hard way. It turned out to be very healing actually. The publisher was the kindest and helped in every way she could.

This whole book breathes family. And as far as we are concerned... family is a feeling.

A family is a co-creation of beings - human, more than human, etc. And that includes tasty, diverse, and good food. Food that supports everything and everyone, including this Earth. 

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has become a delicious cookbook, this time with family recipes for young and old. In addition to recipes, this book also contains interviews with the inspiring and amazing plant-powered families.

We cannot wait to have a copy in our hands and are counting down the days.

Want to have a copy in your hands too ;-)? You can pre-order this book now via link in bio. The book will launch next week and we will share some of the recipes over here (in EN & NL).

Dear peeps, We have let our minds wander in regar Dear peeps,

We have let our minds wander in regards to the new reality we are finding ourselves in and to say it with the words of @zachbushmd (check out his posts!) we 'strongly believe there is too much bandwidth of the collective human consciousness spent on this topic’ so we are not gonna add anything to that besides a few things:

1. @thedutchweedburger just posted an amazing article on their blog that to us says it all

2. we are not quite sure if we will be able to continue our friday posts during the coming period, but will do our best to offer easy and delicious plant based inspiration, maybe through our stories

3. because we see a lot of sadness on social media right now we thought this recipe might cheer you up a bit. Just because a smile can do so much for yourself, your body and the world around you.

We created these Pupcakes in service of @worldanimalprotectionnl and you can find the recipe via their website (link in bio) in Dutch. If you need English, Google is your friend ;-). These vegan puppy dogs are worth a translation.

Stay safe!

Maartje & Lisette
