Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Bean Burger can be paired with Pinot Noir and Tempranillo. Since veggie burgers are usually lean, you'll want low to medium tannin wines. Pinot noir is a great choice. Another option is Spanish tempranillo, which pairs nicely with the earthy flavors you might have from beans, lentils, mushrooms, etc. The Adelsheim Pinot Noir ( half-bottle) with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Adelsheim Pinot Noir ( half-bottle)

With its broad array of origins and clones, this wine displays red aromas pf candied cherry, pomegranate and raspberry on the nose and the palate. In addition, one finds a light touch of brown spices likw nutmeg, cinnamon, all-spice. True to our house style, it is elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated, silky, polishedtannins. Pair it with salmon, ahi, veal, pork, poultry (think duck), beefor hearty vegetarian entrees.

Instructions

Start with the sauce. Put all the ingredients to food processor and process until smooth. For the burgers put beans, egg and tofu to a food processor and process until smooth. If you processor is small and not very powerful like mine, you might want to do it in portions. Meanwhile saute the onion, poblano pepper and garlic until soft. Season with salt. In a bowl combine burger mix with cilantro, sauteed onions and peppers, Salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika and breadcrumbs. Mix well. If necessary add more bread crumbs. Form uniform patties and fry on a greased grilling pan on both sides. Be very gentle when turning over because they might break easily. Serve on a bun with some green mayo.
