-
4 cups cooked black beans
1 tablespoon cooking oil
½ cup green pepper, chopped fine
½ cup red onion, chopped fine
1 large stalk celery, chopped fine
2 - 4 cloves garlic minced (depends how much you like garlic)
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup hummus
1 tablespoon soy sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
½ cup quick oats
2 slices dry whole wheat bread crumbled into tiny pieces
Tips
Fantastic with a little brown mustard, horseradish and sweet pickle
It's fine to substitute peppers for onion, or celery, in this black bean recipe, and I used only one clove of garlic. Grated carrots would be another possible substitution. I made bread crumbs in the food processor using dry crusts.
Cooking Tips:
Depending on the moisture in the beans, you may or may not need to add hummus or liquid to the mixture. A little sticky is ok, but the mixture should be firm enough to easily make into burgers.
If you don't have hummus, just add a little tomato sauce or ketchup instead
Sauté the celery and pepper also to shorten the cooking time, and reduce the moisture
These are great on whole wheat burger buns with standard burger fixings - lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, mustard. We added avocado and cucumber too
Directions
Sauté garlic & onion in oil until soft
Add the celery & pepper, fry until softened
Mix in the herbs & spices and heat through
Mash or puree half the beans
Place in a bowl: mashed beans, reserved whole beans and all other ingredients EXCEPT hummus and liquid seasoning
Mix well by hand
Add enough of the hummus or liquid seasoning to moisten mixture fairly well
Food Processor: process 1/2 the beans with all other ingredients except hummus and liquid seasoning, then mix in the remaining whole beans
Mixture may seem a little sticky, but it's better than a bit dry, because the burgers WILL dry out while cooking
Form 8 flat patties and cook on medium until brown, approx. 10 min per side
