Butter Bean Burgers with Spicy Mayo

Day 71

We first tried these fantastic veggie burgers back in November, and immediately decided that they were the best burger in the world. They have a crispy coating but inside they are flaky and white and have almost the texture of a fish fillet, but without a fish flavor, of course. The flavor combines onions, jalapenos, cheese and garlic, with beans being more of a vehicle to house it all in.

Made the same way every time, so you can check our Butter Bean Burgers link from Nov 19th for the recipe, but here are some pics of the process again. Since I took them.

Four patties ready to fry

The original recipe makes 4 patties but Laura always doubles it and freezes the rest. There is nothing better than having ready-to-cook food that you know still contains nutrients but without the preservatives and whatever other crap companies put into processed, ready-to-eat food.

Burger Toppings

Tonight, we topped them with grilled red onion, avocado and spicy mayo. The mayo recipe is shown below.

Spicy Mayo

Laura made this fancy spicy mayo to have as a condiment with our burgers today, because she wasn't in a ketchup-y mood. Laur said she only found stupid spicy mayo recipes online so she made this one up. It's delicious! It lends itself to these burgers perfectly.

Spicy Mayo Recipe 

1/2 cup Compliments salad dressing (mayo)
2 small cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Sriracha sauce

Combine all ingredients. This mayo can be as spicy as you like! This version is very mild.

The Finished Burger

In the pic below, you can see how crispy brown the burger gets. Inside it's soft and white and very tasty. These toppings are perfect for it.

Review/Comments

Always so good. I could eat these every week and never get sick of them. We have had them four times already in the past (almost) 6 weeks.
