Black Bean Burgers

Black Bean Patty

⅔ cup rolled oats

2 tbsp chia seeds (or flax seeds)

1 tbsp dried cilantro (or 2-3 tbsp fresh cilantro)

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

¼ tsp paprika

½ tsp allspice (optional)

dash chipotle chili powder

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

1 large carrot, roughly chopped

½ red onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, diced

¾ cup corn

½ cup cooked brown rice, quinoa, or farrow (optional)

1 15 oz can black beans (rinsed and drained)

Sauce

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tsp sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

1 tsp ketchup

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp chile powder

¼ tsp lemon juice

salt

Directions

Combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cilantro, chile powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and allspice in a food processor. Blend until oats become close to a flour, but not quite.

Add carrots and blend until finely chopped. Add onions and minced garlic, pulsing until combined.

Add bell pepper, corn, brown rice, and black beans (be sure to pat them down with a towel to remove any excess moisture before putting them in the food processor). Pulse until the mixture begins to come together. A few of the beans should still be whole for an ideal texture.

Form mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil until browned, about 5 minutes each side.
OR
Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. If using this method, consider brushing both sides of each patty with olive oil before baking.

Sauce

Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate until use.
