Burger di Fave is a delightful vegan Italian burger made from fava beans, herbs, and spices, delivering a fresh and hearty flavor. Served on a toasted bun with a zesty lemon dressing, this dish is perfect for a light yet satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Fava beans - 200 grams (cooked and peeled)
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Garlic - 1 clove (minced)
• Red onion - 1/4 (finely chopped)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2 (whole wheat preferred)
• Tomato - 1 (sliced)
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Vegan mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked fava beans with a fork until mostly smooth but with some texture.
2. Add the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, minced garlic, chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the mashed fava beans. Mix well until combined.
3. Shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties, ensuring they hold together well.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
5. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a fava bean patty on each bun, topped with lettuce, tomato slices, and a dollop of vegan mayonnaise.
8. Serve immediately with a side of fresh salad or your choice of sides.
