I’ve decided to start adding recipies to this blog. Below is a easy and tasty recipie for Black Bean Burgers. They hold together well, unlike some veggie burger recipies. This recipie makes four large patties. Enjoy.

Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients:

1 Tblsp Olive Oil

15 oz can Black Beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 red pepper, diced

1/4 green pepper, diced

1 medium onion, diced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 handful mushrooms, diced

1/2 tsp cumin

few dashes of cayanne powder

salt and pepper to taste

1 egg

3/4 cup bread crumbs (I’ve used Panko)

Directions:

Saute vegetables and spices on medium heat with olive oil until soft. Set aside.

Mash black beans in a bowl with a fork. Stir vegetable mixture into mashed beans. Stir in egg then stir in breadcrumbs. Mix well. Let sit for a few minutes.

Heat pan on medium. Form patties and place in pan. Partially cover pan and cook for five minutes on each side until browned.

Serve on buns or bread with your favorite toppings. Makes four large burgers.
