Instructions

1Prepare beets: Bake 2 medium beets (about 14 oz/400g) with skin at 392°F (200°C) for 45–55 minutes until soft and pierced easily. Cool, peel (use disposable gloves — stains deeply red!), and coarsely grate. Squeeze well in a cloth — excess liquid causes patties to fall apart when frying.
-
2Mix patty mixture: 1 can black beans (14 oz/400g, drained + lightly mashed — don't fully purée, preserve texture), 3.5 oz (100g) rolled oats (coarse, absorb as binder), grated beets, 2 tbsp cannabis oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, pepper. Mix everything, let sit 20 minutes (oats absorb liquid). Should be moldable but not sticky.
-
3Form patties: Shape mixture into 4 equal patties (about 6.3 oz/180g each, approximately 4 inches/10cm diameter, 0.6 inches/1.5cm thick). Place on parchment paper, refrigerate 30 minutes — cold patties hold better when frying. For extra stability: work 1–2 tbsp flour or chickpea flour into mixture if too soft.
-
4Fry: Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron ideal) with 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Carefully place patties, fry 4–5 minutes WITHOUT moving until dark brown crust forms. Flip once, fry another 3–4 minutes. Vegan patties have no meat binder — flipping too early breaks them apart. Patience = whole patties.
-
5Assemble burger: Toast brioche buns. Bottom: beet hummus or avocado cream (stir in cannabis oil). Place patty on top. Toppings: arugula, pickled red onions (vinegar + sugar, 20 min.), pickled cucumbers. Top: tahini sauce or Dijon mustard mayo. The naturally earthy beet flavor with smoked paprika and cannabis oil creates a deep, meat-like profile.
