Open Bean Burger recipe | baked Spaghetti and Bean vegetarian burger | Indian Quick Bean Pav |
The Open Bean Burger, a delightful and innovative take on the classic burger, offers a unique culinary experience often embraced as a Baked Spaghetti and Bean Vegetarian Burger or a Quick Indian Bean Pav. This recipe cleverly transforms simple ingredients into a satisfying and flavorful open-faced meal, perfect for a quick snack, a light lunch, or an intriguing party appetizer. Its ease of preparation and the comforting blend of textures and tastes make it a surefire crowd-pleaser.
The heart of this open burger lies in its vibrant and savory topping. The process begins by heating melted butter in a non-stick pan, then sautéing finely chopped onion and finely chopped green chillies until aromatic. This forms the flavorful base. The star components, baked beans and tomato ketchup, are then stirred in, creating a rich, tangy, and slightly sweet foundation. This mixture is cooked briefly, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully, setting the stage for the next addition.
What truly sets this "burger" apart is the unexpected yet harmonious inclusion of cooked spaghetti into the bean mixture. This addition not only provides an interesting textural contrast but also helps to bind the topping, ensuring it's hearty and satisfying. After adding the spaghetti and salt to taste, the topping is cooked for a few more minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through. This entire flavorful mixture is then divided into four equal portions, ready to crown the toasted burger buns.
The preparation of the burger "base" is equally straightforward. Standard burger buns are cut horizontally and their centers are gently scooped out. This creates a perfect well for the generous topping and helps keep the burger from becoming too dense. Each half is then brushed with a little melted butter, adding richness and aiding in achieving a golden toast. These prepared bun halves are arranged on a greased baking tray and then baked in a pre-heated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes, resulting in lightly toasted and wonderfully fragrant bases.
Assembly is where the Open Bean Burger comes to life. Each toasted bun half is generously filled with a portion of the savory baked beans and spaghetti topping. Following this, a dollop of creamy white sauce is spread over the topping, adding a luscious layer of mild, milky flavor that contrasts beautifully with the zesty beans. Finally, a generous sprinkle of grated processed cheese adorns the top, promising a delightful melted, gooey finish once the burger is served warm.
The beauty of this Quick Indian Bean Pav is its immediacy; it's designed to be served hot right after assembly. The combination of the slightly crisp, buttery bun, the hearty and flavorful bean-spaghetti topping, the creamy white sauce, and the melted cheese creates a symphony of textures and tastes that is both comforting and exciting. It's a testament to how creative adaptations of familiar ingredients can lead to truly memorable and convenient meals.
