Instructions

  1. I started by soaking dry beans overnight in whey that was left over from making cheese. If you don’t have any whey, soak the beans in water or just use canned beans instead. Then, I cooked them in a pressure cooked for 30 minutes.
  2. Drain off as much water from the cooked (or canned) beans as possible.
  3. Place beans in a skillet and cook on high heat stirring occasionally. Doing so will further dry the beans.
  4. Transfer beans and the rest of the burger ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined.
  5. If you are using halloumi cheese, cut into 10 g slices. Then, add some oil to a cast iron pan and cook the cheese until both sides are golden brown.

    If you are using a different type of cheese, you can skip this step and proceed to Step 6.
  6. Make two 40 g balls of black bean mixture.
  7. Add high heat oil to a cast iron pan. Set to high heat.
  8. Once the pan is hot, place the black bean balls in the pan, with some separation between the balls.
  9. Place wax paper on top of one ball and press down with a spatula until flat. Remove wax paper and repeat with the other ball.
  10. Cook for a few minutes until seared on the outside. Flip and sear the other side.
  11. Place 10 g of cheese on top of one burger and sandwich between the two burgers. Heat to warm.
  12. Toast English Muffin.
  13. Place both burgers and cheese on English muffin and top with tomato salad.
  14. Continue process with the rest of the mixture.
