Pinto Burgers

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups cooked pinto beans (kidney beans, chickpeas and baby limas should also work well)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 large onion, minced
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1 1/2 tsp salt, optional
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• Oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Mash beans well with beaten eggs, veggies and salt. If hot, stir until cool enough to handle. Add flour a little at a time and mix thoroughly. Form into patties about 3" in diameter and 1/2" thick - they'll be rather sticky. Fry in 1/4" or so of hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side; drain before serving. Good with a little soy sauce, ketchup or tomato sauce.
