Ingredients
- 1 can Black beans Drained
- ½ Small red onion Chopped
- ½ cup Dry oats
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 3 Chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1 Tbsp Adobo sauce
- ½ Tsp Cumin
- Salt and pepper
- 1 Egg beaten
Instructions
-
Rinse the beans and drain them very well; any excess moisture will make your burgers soggy.
-
Add the chopped onion, garlic, chili peppers, and 1tbsp of the adobo sauce to your food processor and process until everything is finely minced. Next, add half of the beans and continue to blend until almost smooth. Add the remaining beans and pulse a couple of times to roughly chop the beans that you just added.
-
Transfer the bean mixture from the food processor to a medium mixing bowl. Add the beaten egg, cumin, salt, and pepper and combine with the beans.
-
Sprinkle about half of the oats over the "burger" and mix well. Continue to gradually add more oats and combine with the bean until the mixture has become stiffer. Don't worry if it seems like it won't hold up at this point.
-
Chill the bean mixture for at least 1 hour. This will allow the oats to absorb much of the moisture so your patties will hold their shape. Divide the chilled mixture and form 4 patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness.
