Black Bean Burger recipe

Published July 3, 2011 | By gregory

While we often buy the the frozen veggie burgers, the best one I have tried is the Black Bean Burger from Phat Bites here in Nashville. So, I went on a search for a black bean burger recipe that looked similar to their’s. What I ending up doing was combining two recipes together and came up with a recipe of my own that is really great and very close to the one at Phat Bites. (I think they also have shredded carrots in their recipe but I didn’t include it) Tastes best with some garlic hummus on top instead of cheese.

BLACK BEAN BURGER RECIPE

1, 15 oz can black beans
1/2 green or yellow pepper finely chopped
1/2 onion finely chopped
3 cloves pressed or chopped garlic
1 egg
3/4 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon soy sauce
15 drops Worchestershire sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Cook onion, pepper and garlic in tablespoon olive oil until slightly caramelized.

Mash black beans with potato masher or by thoroughly squeezing with hands. Mix all ingredients and blend with a fork.

Makes 4 LARGE patties (a whole meal in itself) or 5 0r 6 smaller patties. Pan fry in small amount of veggie or olive oil. Can be baked in oven as another option, but grease the pan.
