Spicy Black Bean Burgers

3 cups cooked black beans
4 large eggs
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 tsp salt
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp ground turmeric
5 tbsps ground flaxseed
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

3- 4 cups mixed greens

In a large bowl, combine lentils, eggs, carrots and salt, and mix for 1 minute. Stir in onion and turmeric. Add flaxseed, stir, and let sit for a couple of minutes so that the flaxseed absorbs some of the moisture. In a heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Form 6 small patties, place in the skillet, cover, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the bottoms begin to brown. Flip the patties and cook the second side for 7 minutes, or until golden. Serve with a large mixed green salad or vegetables on the side.
Serve with 3-4 cups mixed greens.
