black bean burgers
2023-11-24
ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked black beans (or two 16 oz cans)
- 1 small onion
- 3 medium sized potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup bread crumbs (or crushed crisp crackers)
- 2-3 eggs
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1 tsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. pepper
- Oil
- Optional: any other veggies you'd like to throw in. Peppers are a nice addition.
directions
- Boil the black beans until they are soft, which could take upwards of two hours.
- When beans are almost finished, peal and dice potatoes, onion, and garlic (and any additional veggies).
- Fry potatoes in a small amount of oil until cooked through and golden on the outside.
- Stir-fry onion and garlic, along with spices, in a small amount of oil.
- Once beans are cooked, drain off remaining liquid.
- Smash beans, and slightly smash the potatoes (depending on how big the chunks are).
- Mix beans, potatoes, cooked veggies, and bread crumbs together.
- Once mixed, add in beaten eggs one at a time (you want to end up with a gooey mixture that still holds its shape. Too many eggs and your mixture will be runny.)
- Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan, then using your hands, make patties and place into the oil.
- Cook the burgers for 5-6 minutes per side or until dark and crispy. Each time you put new patties in the pan, be sure to add more oil.
This recipe should make about 8, 4-inch patties.
