burger - Black bean beet burgers

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 1 cup black beans- cooked
• 1 cup brown rice- cooked
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 small onion- finely sliced
• 1/3 cup cooked beetroot- shredded finely
• 2 tbs chia and 3 tbs water
• 2 tbs tahini
• 2 tbs soy sauce
• 2 tsp mustard
• Approx. 1/2 tsp hot chipoltle sauce (to taste)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Mash black beans and mix with all other ingredients until you have a well mixed but still textured (meaty) mixture. The mixture should be sticky but manageable.
Form into burger patties approx. 1.5cm thick using your hands or use a cookie cutter as a mould to achieve neat edges (perfectionist!). Lay the burgers on a lined baking sheet and bake for approx. 10 minutes until they are just beginning to brown and then fry on a griddle pan for a few minutes each side to complete the cooking and achieve seared pan lines.
Can be frozen.
