Black bean burgers

Black beans and lentils are cooked with aromatics and herbs and roasted along with carrots and onions to create a deeply savory base for these vegan burgers. Paprika, cumin, coriander, ajwain, and sumac provide earthy, smoky, tangy, and floral notes to round out the umami base of the roasted onion. Chickpea flour provides much more flavor and holding power than wheat flour—the bonus is that these burgers are also gluten-free!

Ingredients:

For the beans and lentils:

150g (generous 3/4 cup) dried black beans, soaked in cool water overnight

130g (2/3) dried brown lentils (345g cooked) (or substitute more black beans)

1 yellow onion, halved

4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

2 California bay leaves

4 sprigs thyme (optional)

For the roast:

2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped

1 large yellow onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

1 red chili pepper, halved

1/4 cup chickpea flour (besan)

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

2 tsp cumin seeds, or ground cumin

2 tsp coriander seeds, or ground coriander

1 tsp ground sweet paprika

1 tsp ground smoked paprika

1 tsp black peppercorns

1/2 tsp carom (ajwain) or fennel seeds

1/2 tsp dried sumac berries, or ground sumac

1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper (optional)

1 3/4 tsp salt, or to taste

small bouquet parsley, stems removed

Instructions:

1. Soak the black beans. Rinse and pick over black beans for stones or other debris, then place them in a large bowl with enough cool water to cover by several inches and leave them overnight.

2. Cook beans and lentils. In two separate pots, place soaked black beans and lentils with enough water to cover. Add a half yellow onion, two crushed garlic cloves, a bay leaf, and 2 sprigs of thyme to each pot and simmer, covered, until tender. The black beans will take 1-2 hours and the lentils around 40 minutes. Drain and set aside, removing the onion, garlic, and bay leaf.

3. Make the spice blend. If using whole spices, toast coriander seeds, sumac berries, and black peppercorns in a dry skillet over medium heat for a couple minutes, agitating occasionally, until fragrant and a shade darker; set aside. Toast cumin and ajwain or fennel for a minute or so until fragrant; set aside and remove skillet from heat. Toast ground spices in the skillet, agitating constantly, for 30 seconds. Grind spices using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, and filter them through a fine mesh sieve.

4. Optional: roast the vegetables. Drizzle beans, lentils, carrots, onion, garlic, and chili pepper in 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and about half of the spice blend; toss to combine. Roast in a large baking sheet at 400 °F (205 °C) for 10–20 minutes. I like to roast half the onion and garlic and leave the other half raw, to get a mixture of deep, roasted and fresh, punchy flavors from the aromatics. You can roast all of it if you dislike the taste of raw onion or garlic, though it doesn't end up being very strong once the burgers are fried.

5. Make the burgers. Mix all ingredients (including the remaining half of the spice mix) in a food processor until they form a single rough but cohesive ball. Taste and adjust spices. Refrigerate the mixture for about 10 minutes to make forming the burgers easier. Take handfuls of the mixture and form into your desired size and shape (I like mine about 3/4 of an inch thick, but I've also tested this recipe with very thin patties designed for layering in a single sandwich).

6. Cook the burgers. Heat 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a skillet on medium for several minutes. Lower heat to medium-low and cook burgers in a single layer for 4–6 minutes each side, until deep brown and crisp on the outside. Press down on the burgers with the flat of a spatula to encourage even frying.

You may also bake the burgers at 375°F (190 °C) until cooked through, about 10 minutes each side.

Serve warm with buns, lettuce, sliced onion and tomato, cheese, jam, or other condiments.

Merch, us/2p!us veggie burgers streamer au

I started this ages ago and I can't even find the post that it was inspired by but oh well >.> here you go, @modernday-jay P: I hope you like it

Rating: Explicit Warnings: None. Smut and Feels. My specialty Summary: Alfred's making it big on youtube and twitch, but he's probably overworking himself, so Allen convinces him to take a break by reminding him of where he started out... kind of. [this takes place before Alfred really hits it big, so he lives in a really swanky apartment instead of the house he eventually buys. Allen lives there too. They're together but there has been no L-Word yet] Word count: ~1900

“Hey, sweetheart,” Allen croons, leaning against the door jam in a sultry pose.

Alfred hardly glances at his boyfriend before refocusing his attention on his monitor. “Hey babe, what’s up? Can it wait? I’ve really gotta finish editing this video.” Of course, he wants to give Allen his full attention, but he has a schedule to keep and his editor had to bail for family stuff. Alfred is just on the edge of reaching the top twenty streamers on twitch and he’s so close to two million subscribers on youtube, which will mean he can hire another editor soon, but to get there, he has a lot of work to do.

Allen saunters over, just out of Alfred’s line of sight. His poor honey has been working too hard and knowing him, he's just nitpicking the video down to the smallest minutiae which is why Allen had suggested getting an editor in the first place. Alfred is on the cusp of becoming one of the most popular youtube gamers--he’s already very well known, but he needs to take a break. “When is that video supposed to go live?” he asks, leaning on Alfred in a sultry pose.

Alfred groans, “In a couple days, but I’m not as good at editing as Matt is.” Matt, the Canadian who is a freaking god-send, but who had to take the week off. He finally swivels his chair to look at Allen and whatever he was about to say dies on his lips when he finally sees what Allen is wearing. Reflexively, he reaches for Allen’s hips to pull him closer, his mouth sort of hung open because his brain short-circuited.

Allen smirks as he runs his fingers through Alfred’s hair. He knew this would work. He had found the shirt, the first merch Alfred had ever sold, back when he had only about twenty thousand subscribers, with his roughly rendered original logo over the obnoxious pink/yellow/green tie-dye. Back then, he was just one of Alfred’s anonymous trolls, not knowing Alfred was one of his top subscribers on onlyfans. It makes him laugh every time he thinks about it. Of course, he’s also wearing the "women’s” short shorts with Alfred’s newer logo emblazoned on the butt.

“Where did you get that?” Alfred asks, and still seated in his chair, he presses his face into Allen’s stomach, remembering the slightly scratchy cheap cotton he’d got at a bargain price from some shady drop shipper, but he also remembers being so proud of it, so happy that people wanted merch from him at all. That had been the moment he thought he could really do youtube as a career. “You find it in some sad thrift store bin or something?”

Allen gently swats his head and then massages his fingers on Alfred’s scalp, sighing happily when Alfred nuzzles him. It makes the cheap cotton worth it--although it is quite worn-in from all of the washings over the years. “No, dummy, I bought it from you. God, they were so awful. As one of your best trolls, I knew I had to have one. Like blackmail or something. And what do you know? Here I am using it to seduce you.”

Alfred laughs, lifting up the hem of the shirt and pressing kisses over Allen’s navel. “Does it work if you just say it out loud like that?”

Allen purrs as Alfred’s hands and lips lavish attention on his skin and those shorts are suddenly about five times tighter. “I dunno, honey, you tell me.” He’s rewarded with a low growl from Alfred’s throat that resonates through his whole body. He glances back at the couch Alfred films his collabs on. Alfred has another couch in the actual living room of the spacious apartment and of the two couches, only one is okayed for fucking… and it definitely isn’t this one.

Alfred stands up, not letting go of Allen’s hips and pushes him backward toward the couch, not caring at all about what they knock over in the process and Alfred tosses his stupidly hot boyfriend onto it, flat on his back. He ditches his sweat pants and t-shirt and flushes hot at the sight of Allen lying there, all mussed with that shirt on. Just the fact that Allen had bought one of those damn shirts is… unreal in the most awesome way, but actually seeing him wear it makes Alfred forget that anything else in the world even exists.

Allen yelps when Alfred pulls his shorts off and climbs on top of him. He goes to remove the shirt, but Alfred stops him.

“Leave it on. Please,” he says, loosely wrapping his hand around Allen’s cock and stroking it quickly, but softly. “You’re the only person who’s ever looked good in it.”

Well, how could Allen say no to that? He whines and arches his hips up. “You like seeing me in it that much, huh? You think you own me or something?”

Alfred spreads Allen’s legs further and grinds down on his naked cock, his own being still covered by his boxers. “Yeah, I think I do.”

Not in the mood to simply lie back and take it (yet), Allen pushes himself up and frees Alfred’s amazing cock from its cloth prison. Alfred should never be allowed to wear anything to cover it… at least, not at home, Allen thinks possessively. “Only cuz you have this glorious thing,” he teases. “Fuck it’s like I always forget how big it is.”

Alfred blushes bright pink and doesn’t protest as Allen repositions them until he is the one on top. He moans, long and loud, when Allen leans down and draws the head into his mouth. “Ahhh, fuck, babe.”

Allen releases him with an exaggerated pop. “You need a break, Al, just let me do the work.” Without waiting for a response, he holds Alfred’s dick up, licking along the underside and sucking on Alfred’s balls. He then licks all the way up the shaft and swallows about four inches.

Alfred threads his fingers in Allen’s soft, brown hair and tries not to push him down or thrust his hips. All of his brain shoots straight to his cock and Allen is sucking it right out of him. “So good, shit, so good, baby.”

Allen works steadily downward. He’s taken all of Alfred in his mouth before--ten amazing inches, one of his proudest achievements--but he has to work up to it. He relaxes his throat, coaxing Alfred into it, slowly but surely. He loves Alfred for staying so still and eventually his nose is buried in soft, musky curls. He chokes, then relaxes and swallows around Alfred’s dick over and over again, moaning as he does and looking up.

With his fingers winding tight in Allen’s hair, Alfred’s head tosses back and an almost agonized, guttural moan escapes his throat. “Allen,” he exhales raggedly, “fuck, fuck, fuck…” Alfred lifts his head, looking down only to meet Allen’s pretty brown eyes, and then his head falls back again. “Shit,” he groans. “Oh fuck… babe…”

Allen decides to have mercy and releases Alfred until he has only the head in mouth again, his hand stroking the rest; his other hand is wrapped around his own cock. He pulls off, giving a few kittenish licks first, then nuzzling his cheek against the soft skin coated in his spit and Alfred’s pre-cum. It takes a moment for his throat to adjust, but then he smiles. “If I’d known you were this hot under all those stupid hoodies, maybe I wouldn’t have been so mean back then.”

Alfred laughs, but it’s more just a raspy “hah.” Between still being completely hard and feeling slack like he already came, he’s helpless when Allen crawls over and starts grinding their hips together. In this position he has a perfect view of that stupid shirt and he can’t help the stupid grin on his face. His hands grasp Allen’s hips again and revels in how familiar they feel now. “You’re so pretty,” he says compulsively.

Allen shivers and swoops down to kiss his nerdy, hot, perfect boyfriend. “I know,” he teases, “I do like hearing you say it though--ah!” he gasps when his cock slides against Alfred’s just right, and wraps his hand around both of them, stroking hard, but not too fast. The contrast in size is oh so delicious. Allen, even being slightly larger than average, looks small compared to Alfred and rather than inciting any insecurity, it only thrills him.

Distantly, Alfred’s brain reminds him of where they are, even though his body is more concerned with bucking his hips up into Allen’s hand, squeezed against Allen’s cock. “We can’t fuck on this couch,” he protests with no intent behind it.

Allen nods. “Mmmhmm, but we’re not gonna fuck on this couch,” he replies, stroking them faster now. With each pass, he presses his thumb over the heads, smearing their pre-cum together. “Ahh, fuck, Al~ mmm.” The worn-out t-shirt is stifling and hot, but the way Alfred is staring at him makes wearing it worth it.

Alfred can’t take it anymore. “Allen, fuck, babe, I’m gonna--oh fuck--” His back arches as his orgasm crashes into him, his fingers digging hard into Allen’s hips. Stars burst behind his eyelids and his body pulls taut with the effort to contain the absolute euphoria. When it subsides and his vision clears, Allen is giving him that dark, sexy, cheeky grin that so long ago, he used to only see on a screen and Alfred expects him to be smugly licking his fingers, but instead…

Allen hums airily and tugs the hem of his shirt as if to examine it, very pleased to find a substantial, sticky, white splash across it. “Uh oh,” he says, having angled Alfred’s cock to come all over it very much on purpose, and looks up at Alfred with a wink.

Alfred lets out a choked whine, his body too sated and relaxed to do much else, no matter how badly he wants bury himself in Allen’s ass and fuck his smug, trolling brains out right then and there. “You— oh god—!”

Allen, who is still hard, resumes grinding against Alfred’s spent cock and gasps sharply when Alfred’s warm hand wraps around him. Allen thrusts helplessly into Alfred’s fist. “Al, honey, I’m—ohh~” his orgasm is less intense than Alfred’s, but he had been streaming only a few hours ago, so that isn’t surprising. His back bows and he sighs and moans in ecstasy: this gentle, half-orgasm with Alfred is better than the full one he had earlier by far, but that isn’t surprising anymore either. Allen should probably tell Alfred that at some point, tell him how he’s totally fallen for him.

“Pretty good considering you were streaming earlier,” Alfred teases since now it’s his turn to be smug. He dabs his fingertip in Allen’s cum which is now spattered across his chest and then licks it.

Allen groans, unable to decide if Alfred is unbearably sexy or ridiculously cringe. He’ll probably never resolve that question. He surges forward again to kiss him, immediately aware that now he’s made his own mark on the t-shirt. Giggling, he pulls back, examining it again. “Well, it definitely can’t go to a thrift store at this point.”

Alfred gives up entirely because he loves Allen almost too much to keep quiet about it anymore… almost. Soon though. “Are you kidding? That’s a collector’s item now.”

Jerusalem Artichoke Lentil Burgers (Vegan)

[clatterbane]

Plans for at least most of the rest of that carrot, which I went ahead and grated up while I was at it: a variation on some old favorite bean burgers! Because I haven't had any in years, and got an urge.

Another one where I'm not planning to follow that recipe exactly, but it looked like a pretty good example. The basic approach will work with just about any type of beans and seasonings you want to use. I used to particularly like a pseudo-falafel themed version with chickpeas. It also works with other veggies added. I particularly like a combo of carrots and zucchini when I've got it.

[grayve-mistake]

Hey, don't cry. It's gonna be ok. Put a glaze like teriyaki or barbecue sauce or gochujang sauce on your veggie burgers while you cook them and let it caramelize on the outside, okay?

[modernday-jay]
