Happy Earth Day Beautiful People! Celebrate Earth Day with my yummy Earthburger – Straight from my pantry to your table.
Leslie Durso’s Vegan Pantry Earthburger
Makes 6 patties (or 15 ‘mini’ sliders)
Ingredients:
1 15 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15 oz. can of white beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup corn kernels
1 large tomato, diced and de-seeded
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3.5 oz. package of Hail Merry Chimayo Chili Pecans, crushed medium-fine
In a large bowl combine the beans, onion, and garlic. Using a potato masher lightly smash the beans. Add in the rest of the ingredients except the pecans and stir well. Place the crushed pecans on a small plate. Form the burger patties with your hands and dredge in the nuts on each side of the burger. Cook in a lightly greased frying pan on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes on each side or until the sides are golden. Serve with a toasted bun, avocado and caramelized onions.

That veggie burger sounds delicious… and love the photo!
i will absolutely give up Shake Shack for this burger! Looks GORG!!!!
Great shot on the burger! You’re a wonderful photographer as well. Any substitute for nutritional yeast if I don’t have one?
We tried the earth burger after the “Green Festival” in NYC. It was delicious! I have a few questions. I had a difficult time keeping it firm. It was breaking up. What could I have done wrong? Are they still good after being frozen? And, what is the nutritional info on them. We absolutely loved them!
I would say that maybe you didn’t smash the beans enough. Make sure about 50% are smashed and pack them really tight when you are forming the patties. And yes, they freeze beautifully! Just form the patty, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a couple months.
Glad you found it helpful don’t fegrot to utilize your local farmers market. If you don’t know where to find one, localharvest.org can give you a listing 🙂
