The secret recipe for plant-based vegan burgers | Chef David Lee, Planta

[@unexpectedfarm2000]

My husband (almost 73 years old) and I (69 years old) have been vegans since 1975. We're always looking for exciting new recipes. Thanks for this one!

[@BlueSkies360]

What is your DEXA reading?

[@unexpectedfarm2000]

@@BlueSkies360 Because I had no idea what a DEXA reading is, I had to look it up. I've never had a bone density scan, so I don't know the answer to your question. I do know that the only broken bone I've ever had in my life was back in the 1950s, when I was still eating animals and animal products. (I've been vegetarian since 1962, vegan since 1975.) BTW, my husband and I happily donate blood to the American Red Cross every two months.

You’re inspiring! I’m vegan most of the time and would love to completely transition. I feel so good when I go weeks eating only vegan foods 🙌🏽🌱

[@dewannaglow8365]

Sergio P. Yup. But plant based because it taste good, and makes you feel good 😋 and that’s coming from someone who grew up eating frog legs and gator bits 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@SERGIO-cr6uy]

​@@dewannaglow8365 OK young lady, does it mean that nowadays your eat Vegan Frog legs too? or just Vegan hamburgers? Eating veggies is a good thing, i have no comments about that. The only comment i have is that people become vegans as they don't want animals to suffer for our consumption and yet... you guys shape your food as meat. That simply doesn't make sense to me. You're young, around 20, so you're in good health but by becoming Vegan you're playing with your heath as you will have B12 deficiency at some stage. B12 vitamins are found in Beef, liver, and chicken. Fish and shellfish such as trout, salmon, tuna fish, and clams. Fortified breakfast cereal. Low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese. Eggs.

[@SandysDIYHealthAdvocacy]

I made these burgers (obviously estimated his measurements), but with a couple of edits: I added smoked paprika, a tiny bit of liquid smoke, and a tiny bit of both balsamic and worschestire sauce (vegan brand). I cannot use oats, so I used quinoa flakes. Also, when I cooked the mushrooms, I added some garlic to them toward the end. These are very tasty. They have the appearance of meat, because they brown so nicely. The flavor is great (especially with the added smokey flavors!). It's a little tricky to process well and not have it get too mushy. To improve that, I kneaded in some ground walnuts at the end by hand. It really restored some texture. These are a keeper.

[@annapachaclarke2392]

Yes, I added chopped herbs and onions to the mix and you could try chopped up cashew nuts or walnuts. I did not have nutritional yeast so I will have to try that. Another healthy binder to try is buckwheat but these really are delicious and nutritious 👌

I made these today and they were fantastic! Here are the measurements I used: Ingredients: 1. cup Black Beans (I used can and rinsed them well) 1. cup Chickpeas (I used can and rinsed them well) 1. cup chopped Baby Bella Mushrooms 1. cup Lentils (I cooked them after soaking over night ) 1. cup Oats 1 Tbsp. chopped Garlic 2 Tbsp. Flax Seed 3/4. cup Walnuts 1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast 1 Tbsp. Tapioca Starch 1 onion chopped (small) 1/2 Tbsp. Chili Powder 1 Tbsp. Tomato Paste 1 tsp. Rosemary 1 tsp. liquid smoke 1 tsp. Braggs Ammino Acid Salt (to your taste) Black Pepper I omitted the beets I sautéed the mushrooms, onions, and garlic without oil. (added a little salt and pepper). I placed everything else in my food processor and pulsed it several times. Make sure you do not let it get too mushy. I put the mushrooms mix in a bowl and added the mix from the food processor. I sprayed my pan with a light coating of oil and placed my patted mixture in the pan. I let them cook about ten minutes on each side on medium heat. I wanted to make sure they cook a littl2e hard since the beans are soft and you are not going to get it as firm as a hamburger. They turned out great. I made 5 firm patties and served them with mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn on the cob. I had mixture left over so I formed 4 nice size balls and placed them in a freezer bag for another time.

If anyone's looking for a cheese sauce, I made this up the other day for mac and cheese and could not believe how much it looked/smelled/tasted like Velveeta/Cheddar: 2 cups butternut squash soup (or 1 1/2 cups cooked, pureed butternut squash and 1/2 cup veggie stock), 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I used cashew), 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup Follow Your Heart mozzarella shreds, 1/3 wheel of Miyoko's Sharp English Farmhouse cheese, chopped and crumbled, salt and pepper to taste. Combine ingredients and warm in a saucepan over low to medium heat, whisking until smooth. You may need to adjust the amount of milk or English Farmhouse to your taste or the consistency you prefer. I was making it thinner to stir with pasta, but you could use less milk for a thicker cheese for burgers.

Good for you. It's all about choice, and until recently, vegans had no choice when eating out, so having a few vegan options on your menu will bring more clients in and also when carnivores try good vegan food they are always surprised at how good it tastes.

I made these last week and got mush. I made them last night and they came out perfect. Here is where I made my mistakes. I used too many beans, should be a cup each and not the whole 15 ounce can. Also drain the beans, rinse and let dry, and don't over pulse in the Processor. Keep everything else as Chef describes and it's a very good burger. One other little thing, try and keep them out of the oven. Fry on high each side for about 3 minutes, no more than 5 minutes total. Then reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes on each side, turning often. The oven tends to make them crumbly. Great Burger!!

[@dw999]

@David, I'm sharing two tips for better veggie burgers: The website Minimalist Baker, in its Best Vegan Meatballs recipe, instructs us to bake the beans on a cookie sheet at a very low heat for about 15 min -- dries them out, so they don't turn to mush in the food processor, tho one still has to pulse them sparingly. And, I add a little mashed avocado to give a little of the mouth-feel you get from hamburgers or chicken patties (both of which have fat throughout the fibers). If you don't have avocado on hand, then perhaps add a little melted coconut oil or melted vegan butter ( = a fat that is solid at room temp rather than a liquid oil).

[@coolingwinds]

Darlene DeVegan , trying to convince someone to your side is not likely to be achieved with assumptions, hostile comments or insults either. No, I don’t believe in mindless slaughter. I believe in humane treatment of all animals. However, I am at the top of the food chain and some animals I have absolutely no guilt for slaughter to feed people. I could care less about what YOU CHOOSE to eat. That’s YOUR CHOICE. I respect that you know what’s best for you. I have absolutely no problem with how and what I eat.

I no longer have Diverticular problems (a condition which put me in hospital and on a drip) several times, and my once irregular heartbeat is now regular.

Thank you so much much for sharing this recipe.

You live in the UK? Where does your food come from when it's out of season? Probably transported thousands of kilometres with gas-guzzling planes, ships and trucks from places like Almeria in Spain, that's a plastic greenhouse landscape so huge it can be seen from space. Not to mention how the rest of the industrial agriculture poisons countless insects, bugs, worms, rodents and other critters because they're considered as "pests". Only industrial agriculture is able to wipe out entire species, but unless they're as important for us as the bees they will barely make the news. But thank you for caring so much about the Earth...

@@mankind9074 She just eyeballed it. But, seeing as she hasn' responded. I eyeballed it, too, and this is what I came up with: - 1.5 cups cooked black beans - 1.25 cups cooked lentils - 1.5 cups cooked mushrooms - 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas - 1 cup rolled oats Blitz it a little in the food processor -- you want to break up the pieces, not turn it to mush. - 1/4 cup of nooch. - salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. - (He didn't add any onion, but I always do, and I strongly recommend it. Or, use onion powder and also a little garlic powder.) - 1 cup of shredded beets - 1 TB of tapioca starch - Parsley and rosemary to taste - (I also add aboutt 1 TB of tamari or soy sauce, and a fake-beef bouillon cube -- see below -- 1 cube for about 400g of mixture. If you use bouillon cubes, which are highly seasoned, or tamari (very salty), hold off on salt, pepper, and chili flakes until you've tasted the mix.) Blitz a little, again keeping in mind that you don't want a mush -- you want distinct bits that will give a decent texture to the burger. Form them into patties (i make mine about 100 grams / 3.5 oz), and cook them in a little oil on a skillet on the stove top. Three FYIs: Because I don't use any add-ons, I put some fat in the burger itself -- a little mashed avocado helps give the mouth-feel you get from fat in a hamburger or chicken patty. If you use only black beans, bake them off 1st to get rid of some moisture (on a cookie sheet, at 200F for about 15 minutes) -- otherwise, they become mushy. (The lentils and chickpeas hold their respective textures better.) When I make black-bean burgers, I add a fake-beef bouillon cube. I use Edward's brand, which is so-so (their faux-chicken cubes are very good); another YT chef (Sauce Stache) recommends Shanggie brand, but I can't find it where I live.

The current trend towards plant based burgers are the commercial ones like Impossible burger and Beyond burger that mimics meat burgers perhaps to the point of being indistinguishable. What's shown here is a chef's creation which probably tastes good but probably has less of a resemblance to real meat. However, the carbon footprint of this chef created plant based burger is probably much lower than that of the commercial plant based burgers and hence far more sustainable. For one, the commercial ones have over 20 ingredients and often use coconut oil which has it's own sustainability issues. Please publish this recipe as it's probably far more sustainable and healthier than the commercial plant based burgers.

[@lloydchristmas4547]

Very valid points.

[@jabom99]

Why don't you just eat real meat? It is much more sustainable and healthy and the carbon footprint is much smaller. Vegans crave meat because hominids have been sustained by meat for 2 million years. Vegans crave meat so they have to create a fake meat because they are so undernourished. That is why this has become "a thing" lately. Canada imports thousands of tons of fruit and vegetables from tropical countries contributing to air pollution, fossil fuel use, and Co2 emissions.

[@johnwang9914]

@@jabom99 The amount of arable land, fresh water and energy needed to produce meat is an order of magnitude higher than producing food from plants. Granted, meat production has improved and the commercial meat substitutes such as impossible burger and Beyond burger have high carbon footprints due to the ingredients they use but in theory, the more we transition to plant based foods, the more secure our food supply will be as our population grows. There is also the possibility of growing meat without growing the animals themselves and that has potential for bring efficient but requires a lot more research than plant based substitutes. Your premise that the carbon footprint of meat is low in comparison to plant based food is pretty much an impossible argument to make as animals must be fed and what is it that they are fed... We can pretty much expect that not everyone will transition to eating vegetables, legumes, fruits and cereals alone so to have more of the population eating plant based foods will initially require meat substitutes. The food we eat today is nothing like the food of even just a generation ago so tastes will change, eventually what will be eaten as meat substitutes may be very different from the meats they replace just as the chicken and pork of today are nothing like what they were just sixty years ago. Even if the commercial plant based meat substitutes have relatively high carbon footprints due to non-local ingredients, the changes in tastes that they will cause will allow transitions to progressively lower carbon footprint formulations.

@@jabom99 i don't think vegans crave meat, i think it's more that they crave the flavorful foods they used to eat like burgers.

The best veggie burger I ever ate was at a restaurant in the Phoenix airport. I would LOVE to get that recipe.

What's amazing about well made vegan food is that you can have a hearty, tasty meal and not feel like an overstuffed mess afterwards.

[@LifewithSerenityAllthingsgood]

Yesss!!

[@lindaparker6102]

Amazing, unbelievable ! We need healthy recipes like this. I believe everyone wants to eat healthy, but just don’t know how to Approach it !

[@bluelightmoon777]

2019 the year burgers became a health food 👏

[@exJacktar]

Brian, I have been listening to you on CBC Radio in Dartmouth for years now. It's great to finally put a face to the voice! Enjoyed watching this.

this video is from 2018. he doesnt look like that now i bet

[@theversatilevegetarian1469]

This plantbased burger looks amazinggg ! I love veganising dishes !

[@lh6740]

I've been eating healthier and I used to order dominoes pizza evey weekend.. well I ordered some dominoes just right now and it activated my gag reflex. I'm never letting any processed foods touch my mouth again.

[@jmk1962]

Your taste buds change once you go plant based. I used to love pepperoni pizza. Then my vegan daughter started making pizza's from scratch and they were delicious and healthy. Then once I found a frozen pepperoni pizza in my freezer and I was feeling lazy and cooked it for myself. After only two mouthfuls I had to chuck it in the bin as it tasted disgusting. So salty and greasy and literally revolting and I have never eaten one again since. Plant based for me from now on.

[@msteetee]

Changes the smell of food too bc fast foods to me smell horrible now. Nose wide open lol

[@zakrowe1301]

@@jmk1962 I eat a mainly plant based whole foods diet and I havent had that effect yet. Honestly I hope it doesnt get to that point for me, I still like to enjoy meat and pizza and burgers every once in a while.

[@HigeYatsu]

Weird that he specifically warned that going plant based requires extra attention when it comes to avoiding too much fat and sodium; surely someone eating a standard American diet runs a higher risk of having an excessive fat/sodium intake???

[@cocoaxo6126]

raw veggies dont always taste so appetizing especially the more out there u go. so people have a tendency to heavily season them especially if its used as a meat substitutes. it'd be something to not overlook

[@deborao9372]

Lunar Dream or cooking anything thats not canned frozen or instant or fast food or resturants. .Why do people feel they can't cook beans grains vegetables herbs and spices? How silly and lazy YES you can People ate before supermarkets and dam McDonald's..they evem grew a lot of there food Its not overwhelming or difficult

[@Wandererofrealmz]

Deborah Olin Not everyone is a stay at home mom who has nothing but time.

[@deborao9372]

Zoe Johnson Im not a stay at home mom with lots of time to cook all day I prep things in stages Its as easy as shopping for frozen foods or ordering foods sane time Also you can do it while on the internet If youve time to be on You tube youve time too mix up beans grains vegetables herbs and spices and make this or simular or chop veggies for soup People worked longer harder hours with much less conviences before super markets and public transportation and cooking equipment like a blender or a stove that used gas or electric Yet they worked cooked ate lived happy lives snd had time to relax and enjoy family and friends Theres no excuses

[@Wandererofrealmz]

Deborah Olin I never said I couldn’t do it but it’s extremely ignorant to think that anyone can do that all the time. People have reasons for not doing that stuff and they are not « lazy » for choosing canned and frozen goods. And btw produce goes bad very fast compared to frozen vegetables. It’s much more convenient. And you could even consider it healthier because it is frozen at its nutritional peak.

[@mzphatpeesh]

this is 1 of the most satisfying, useful videos ever on youtube thanks to the gracious and smart chef David Lee; wanted to try recipe since i saw it, and having just re-found it today (day after my 1st Ever vegan burger)im excited to make it

[@larryb131]

So this burger looks amazing. My question is where is the actual recipe? yes you show the ingredients, and the process, but how much of each item? would love to have that info. Thanks for sharing!

[@clairesmith1964]

I can't believe it's exactly what I made my burger with a few days ago. Apart from the seasoning was slightly different..I should open my own restaurant 😁

[@octo.lina69]

Dooo it

[@CompostWatcher]

Claire you rock those burgers!

[@TheGabster42]

Awesome! Can you perhaps advise how much of each ingredient you used and how many patties you got from your recipe?

[@black-nails]

I was so happy so see reastaurant to make something that looks so homemade! (best vegan good I ate was the food from scratch at home)

What could I substitute the oats with? I’m allergic to them. Thank you.

[@jmk1962]

@@elizabethmcleod246 - I don't know I'm not a chef, but maybe try half breadcrumbs and half flour? Think you'll just have to experiment and see what works for you. It's more of a binder to hold the other ingredients together.

[@Minney-Me]

Finally someone mentions the ingredients of the patty... SMH some of these places never do 👀

[@Oracle_Speaks]

This emergency room doctor just proves doctors are not nutritionist, they're simply human mechanics. I would suspect the chef knows more about nutrition than the doctor.

[@keithbeal1214]

That is correct! Most doctors only study nutrition hours during their schooling.
