Smokey Black Bean Burgers! Nutmeg Notebook Live. #36

Editorial Summary

In this live video, Tammy and Tom from Nutmeg Notebook demonstrate how to prepare smoky black bean burgers. The recipe begins with mashing two cans of rinsed black beans, which the creators suggest can be done by hand with a potato masher or in a food processor. They incorporate a flaxseed binder made from ground flax and water, along with various seasonings including garlic, cumin, jalapeno powder, smoked paprika, tomato powder, chipotle chili powder, and toasted onion. To add texture and body, they include corn, cilantro, and old-fashioned rolled oats. The creators demonstrate a kitchen hack for shaping perfectly uniform patties using canning jar lids lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper. After browning the patties in a nonstick skillet, they show serving suggestions such as using corn tortillas as a gluten-free alternative to buns, topped with salsa, lettuce, and green onions. The video concludes with a live Q&A session where the hosts address viewer questions regarding ingredient substitutions, freezing techniques, and their experiences navigating grocery shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic.
