Hello friends.
Today I want to share you with this amazing black bean burger
recipe. When I first saw this reciepe on Pinterest I was a little
skeptical. "Who would want to eat black bean burgers?"
But after hearing several people tell me they were impressed,
I decided to give it a chance. I love a good ole juicy burger but I
have to admit that these taste just as good! Even my fiance loves them,
which is saying a lot since he loves his meat! The burgers pair
well with sweet potatoe fries or chips + salsa :-)
Enjoy!
Items you will need:
1-15 oz of black beans, rinsed & drained
1/2 cup corn kernels (I use frozen)
3/4 cup of cooked brown rice
1/4 cup of died red pepper
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of chili powder
salt + pepper
olive oil
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large soup pan.
Add onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder and
salt + pepper to taste. Add rice and beans
to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
Transfer the rice and beans to a bowl,
add the corn and let the mixture cool.
You can place mixture in fridge to
speed up process.
Add cilantro and get ready to mash!
Using a fork, press mixture until it reaches
a paste-like consistency, or until it has
potential to be shaped like a patty. Add mixture
into equal patty parts. P.S. This part is tricky for me
because the patty tends to crumble. If mixture wont
hold the reciepe says to add one egg white.
Bring a large pan to medium heat and coat
with thin layer of olive oil. Cook patty
for 5 minutes on each side or until browned.
