Ingredients
3 Cans Black Beans (unseasoned)8 ounces Tempeh 2 Large Red Bell Peppers1 Large Yellow Bell Pepper2 Large Portabella Mushrooms1 Large White Onion1 Bunch Green Onion1 Cup Rolled Oats2 Large Eggs 4 TBSP Jerk SeasoningTo Taste Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder
1. Sautee loosely chopped peppers, onions, and mushrooms on high heat until they start to brown.
2. Put sauteed veggies into food processor and pulse until finely chopped (but not blended). You can use a hand held chopper or even mince the vegetables by hand (before sauteeing), if you don't have a food processor.
3. Set veggies aside.
4. Put black beans, tempeh, oats, egg, and seasonings into food processor and pulse until well-blended (but not pureed). You can mash the ingredients with a potato masher if you don't have a food processor, but you'll have to chop the oats before-hand.
5. Mix chopped veggies and black bean mixture in a bowl using your hands. It should feel something like a loose meatloaf mixture. If it's too runny, at bit more chopped oats.
6. Separate into 3 inch wide patties (1/2 inch thick) and cook in a bit of vegetable oil (I used PAM) on medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side. They should be a bit crisp on the outside, similar to a real burger.
7. Serve warm, on a small whole wheat roll or by itself. Top with Jamaican Jerk Sweet Chili Sauce (another of my recipes on Spark People, calories not included).
