Black Bean Burgers
So I know I change up the look of my blog a whole lot - but I'm still trying to get the right feel for it. Very plain right now, but I'm sure I'll change that soon. I'm definitely still getting the hang of blogger.I made these black bean burgers a week ago but forgot to post - mostly because I didn't get very pretty pictures of them. But now, with hurricane Sandy keeping me inside a bit more than usual, I thought I'd take the time to post. The recipe I followed is from Skinnytaste's Spicy Black Bean Burgers (surprise!).
What you will need:
16 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow) cut into small cubes
1/2 cup green onions
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 large egg
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce (you can omit if you dont wan't them to be spicy)
1/2 cup quick oats (I didn't have quite enough so I also added some breadcrumbs)
Get your beans as dry as possible and mash with a fork in a medium sized bowl until they turn into a thick paste.
In a food processor, chop bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, and garlic. Then, add oats (and/or breadcrumbs), then egg and spices. When these are all finely chopped, stir mixture into mashed beans.
Divide into 4 patties. Put on a flat surface and cover with wax paper - freeze for at least two hours before cooking.
When patties are ready to be cooked, heat a lightly sprayed skillet on medium heat. Cook on each side for about 7 minutes. I also had to put mine into the microwave for a minute or two to get the middle as cooked as the outsides.
I ate mine open faced with a bit of hummus on top - yum!
I hope this rain clears up soon and we can all go back to enjoying that beautiful fall weather.
