Spicy Black Bean Burgers With Oats Recipes

SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Whisk egg, cumin, chili powder, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl.
• Mash black beans in a separate bowl until they reach a paste-like consistency.
• Stir jalapeno pepper, corn, and garlic through the black bean paste.
• Mix the egg mixture into the black bean mixture.
• Scatter the bread crumbs over the black bean mixture; mix with your hands to evenly incorporate.
• Form the resulting mixture into 4 patties.
• Pour flour into the bottom of a shallow dish; coat the patties in the flour to help them hold shape.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in hot oil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat.
• Add the red onion and garlic to the pan and saute until softened, about 8 minutes and then set aside to cool for a few minutes.
• Combine beans, egg, oats, onion, mixture, chili paste, salt, pepper and cilantro and thoroughly mix and mash until pretty homogeneous, leaving a few whole beans.
• Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
• Refrigerate patties for half an hour. (This step is not completely necessary but I find it helps hold the burgers together while cooking.).
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place burgers carefully into the oil, being careful not to crowd the pan.
• After 4 minutes, flip and cook another 4 minutes. They should feel firm to the touch when finished.
• Note: To freeze for later use, after shaping flash freeze and then wrap in plastic wrap. Place wrapped burgers into freezer bag and squeeze out excess air. To cook from frozen, simply heat frozen burgers over medium-high heat on the stove-top, cooking until done.

SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS WITH OATS

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add the oil and when it is warm, add the onion. Stir-fry for 5 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno peppers and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off heat and stir in the chili powder, ground cumin and oregano. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, rinse and drain (several times) the black beans and then put them into a large mixing bowl.
• Roughly mash the black beans with a potato masher or a fork.
• Add the uncooked oats and stir to combine.
• Add the cooked onions and stir to combine.
• Add the eggs,cilantro (more or less depending on how much you like cilantro), salt and pepper. You can add a bit more pepper if desired.
• Mix well and form into patties. They are easier to fry if you make a smaller size pattie and use a smaller hamburger bun.
• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until well browned. Carefully flip over the burgers and cook about 3 minutes on the second side. Like most vegetarian burgers, they can crumble, so extra care needs to be taken when frying them.
• Serve with your favorite garnishes.
