It’s also pretty easy to make burger patties out of black beans.
Tastes great, is simple and you can throw in things you like, such as onions and garlic. Pretty sure it’s nutritious as well.
I too make my own patties most of the time, instead of ready-mase fake meat. Just mash whatever beans/tofu I have. Maybe some dry falafel mix. Half an egg and some potato starch will help with keeping it together. A splash of soy sauce for colour. Just make sure that the mixture does not get too wet.
Turns out to be true tbh.
I've tasted all kinds of fake meat and sausages and some is pretty good. But at the end tofu (pulled is the best) and saitan (not satan) is the easiest and most versatile. You can do almost anything with it.
Chickpeas, beans and bean-cheese (aka tofu) and except from spices and herbs nothing more is needed.
Seitan* you can actually make it at home easily, same for tempeh, reducing the amount of unknown things you eat even more since you control every step of the process
It's also possible to make burgers out of buckwheat. It has an interesting and unique taste.
