Black-Eyed Pea Burgers With Creamy Barbecue Sauce and Chowchow

These black-eyed pea burgers offer a sophisticated, high-protein alternative to traditional vegetarian patties. The base combines earthy pulses with nutrient-dense amaranth and umami-rich miso, creating a satisfying texture that holds up beautifully in the frying pan. Infused with a hint of Scotch bonnet heat and fresh parsley, every bite delivers a complex savoury flavour that pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy notes of the homemade creamy barbecue sauce.

Ideal for a weekend treat or a nutritious midweek dinner, these burgers are best served in toasted brioche buns with a generous topping of crunchy chowchow. The patties can be prepared in advance and chilled, making them a stress-free option for hosting friends or family. For a lighter meal, you can swap the bun for a large green salad while still enjoying the punchy flavours of the spicy, tart dressing.

Ingredients for Black-Eyed Pea Burgers With Creamy Barbecue Sauce and Chowchow

  • 160g amaranth

  • 2 cebollinos, picados en trozos grandes

  • 2 large crimini or button mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 small Scotch bonnet or habanero chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped

  • 2 (425g) cans black-eyed peas (not seasoned), rinsed

  • 1/2 cup parsley leaves with tender stems

  • 45ml tamari soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal

  • 2 tablespoons miso

  • 1/2 cucharaditas de sal kosher, y más si es necesario

  • Pimienta negra recién molida

  • Extra-virgin olive oil (for frying)

  • 120ml store-bought barbecue sauce

  • 60ml de mayonesa

  • 1 tablespoon chilli-garlic sauce (such as Huy Fong)

  • 1 cucharada de mostaza de Dijon

  • 1 cucharadita de jugo de limón fresco

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

  • 6 hamburger buns or brioche buns, toasted

  • Chowchow (for serving)

Cook amaranth, according to package directions. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.

Combine spring onions, mushrooms, chilli, black-eyed peas, parsley, tamari, flaxseed meal, miso, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor. Sprinkle 1–2 tablespoons cooled amaranth over mixture and pulse until just combined. Repeat process until all of amaranth has been incorporated. Taste and season purée with pepper and more salt if needed. Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to make 6 portions (a biscuit scoop works great if you’ve got one) and form into patties that match the size of your buns. Freeze 30 minutes.

While the patties are chilling, make the sauce. Whisk barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, chilli-garlic sauce, mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar in a small bowl to combine. Sauce should taste spicy, tart, and sweet.

Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-low. Pour in oil just to thinly coat bottom of pan. Working in 3 batches to avoid crowding, cook patties, adjusting heat and adding more oil as needed, until browned (a crisp crust should form), about 5 minutes per side. (You can keep patties warm on a fresh parchment-lined baking sheet in a 250° oven if needed.)

Build burgers with patties, buns, sauce, and chowchow.

Do ahead: Sauce can be made 1 month ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
