Yay! My first posted recipe. Black Bean Burgers. This one is very, and I mean
very straight forward, but delicious nonetheless. AND it took no longer than 20
minutes to prepare and devour so it’s really a win/win.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
¼ green bell pepper, diced small
½ small yellow onion, diced small
1 tsp. garlic
salt
black pepper
cumin
paprika
I suggest rinsing your beans right away and letting them dry
a little bit. The less moisture the more firm the patties will be and the less
likely they will break apart. Then chop your pepper and onions real small and
put them in a bowl.
When the beans are dry(ish), add them to the bowl and with
a fork, smash the hell out of them. Add garlic, dust with salt, pepper, cumin and
paprika and mix all together. *If you like other spices (think Mexican/Cajun)
go ahead and add them!*
Jalapenos are a
good addition for some heat, corn to make it sweet, really whatever you like
just add it on in! Just make sure there are enough beans to be able to form a
patty. Too many extra vegetables will make it fall apart.
I split the mixture into quarters and molded 4 patties with my hands. However, you can make bigger patties if you'd like, I mean, I don't know your life..you could be really hungry.
Then heat a pan with some non-stick spray and sear both
sides on a medium/medium high flame (2-3 minutes).
I made mine in a tortilla with jack cheese and salsa, but
these will be good in a lot of ways. Another favorite of mine is to lay it on a
bed of brown rice and topped with avocado. Damn, now I wish I did it that way
instead.
Happy Eating!
