• dehydrating canned black beans
• making vegetarian burgers
• chipotle mayonnaise preparation

Ingredients

• two 15 oz cans black beans
• 1 onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• couple tablespoons olive oil
• salt
• chipotle pepper
• 3/4 cup roasted cashews
• 1/2 to 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 to 3 oz cotija cheese
• 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• roasted hatch chilies
• burger buns
• arugula

What it concludes

• Dehydrating black beans in the oven gives the burger patties a nice bite and meaty texture instead of being mushy.
• Cutting onions straight up and down or radially are both incorrect compared to cutting using the golden ratio.
• Using a food processor with pulse instead of running it straight prevents unevenly chopped cashews.
• Browning cast iron or carbon steel pans with thin layers of oil baked at 450 degrees overnight creates a slick seasoning layer.
