Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the green beans

  • Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed.
  • Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. Set aside the zest for the white beans.
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the water heats and the green beans cook, prepare the patties.

2

Make the patties

  • Rinse the white beans.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions.
In a large bowl, using a fork, masher, or the bottom of a bowl, mash half the white beans to a coarse paste. Add the remaining white beans, scallions, smoky burger spice blend, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] lemon zest. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix until combined. Using wet hands, form the mixture into two [four] 1-inch-thick patties. Wipe out the bowl.

3

Cook the patties

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until a dark golden-brown crust forms, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
While the patties cook, prepare the lettuce.

4

Prep the lettuce; toast the buns

  • Trim the root end from the lettuce; remove 2 [4] of the largest outer leaves for the burgers and save the remaining lettuce for another use.
In the same bowl used for the white beans, add the lettuce and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
In the same pan used for the patties, place the buns, cut sides down, and cook over medium-high heat until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven.

Serve

Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on individual plates and top each with a lettuce leaf, burger, and as much lemon-tahini dressing as you like. Close with the bun tops. Serve the green beans and any remaining dressing on the side.
