Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 6 patties, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small onion, chopped (white or yellow)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/3 teaspoon chili powder
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)

Steps:

  • In a small pot, combine rice and 1 cup water; bring to a boil, and then turn down to medium heat and cook 20 minutes.In a saucepan, heat a little oil over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and soft.
  • Add the corn and spices and cook until the corn is defrosted, another 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mash the drained beans with a fork or your fingers.
  • Add the rice, corn, and onion; combine, mashing it with your fork as you go. Taste and adjust the spices now, because once you put the egg in you could risk salmonella.
  • Add the egg and mix in well.
  • Add the breadcrumbs.
  • Form into patties by patting the desired amount of mixtured into a flat round. (I used a giant cookie scoop to make sure all the patties were the same size, but you can just divide the mixture into six sections).
  • Cook about 2 minutes on each side (if you can't flip the patty without breaking it, it's probably not finished cooking).

CHRIS' NEW BLACK BEAN & RICE BURGERS



Chris' New Black Bean & Rice Burgers image

Tasty and extremly healthy bean burgers that combine the rich flavor of kidney beans with the meaty texture of black beans. Brown rice in the recipe is not only a healthy addition, but makes these firm and hearty patties. A PERFECT meat substitute- you wont notice the difference!

Provided by mycashewchicken

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 40m

Yield 28 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (32 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
2 (16 ounce) cans black beans
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (white may be substituted)
chili powder
garlic powder
onion powder
cumin
1 (15 ounce) package breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • In a food processor, blend black beans and kidney beans to a fine mash. It is alright if some bean chunks still remain solid.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add to bean mash any desired spices. I strongly reccomend liberal amounts of chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. You might also add an adobo seasoning.
  • Should you desire, you might add any kind of chopped or shredded vegetables at this point. From experience, I find salsa is a nice addition.
  • Mix in 1.5 cups of cooked brown rice into bean mash and stir till even consistancy. Gradually fold in entire package bread crumbs- bean mash will visibly thicken, it is advisable to use your hands at this point.
  • Grab small palmfulls of bean mix and flatten into burger sized patties. I generally find I make about 28 patties in one go- this is variable as yours may be smaller or larger.
  • I freeze patties for weeks (months) at a time in an air-tight container or freezer bag.
  • To cook- either bake in a toaster oven until exterior is crusty and crispy, or pan fry with a small amount of oil or cooking spray. These are very firm burgers and will hold up extremly well- better than any other bean burger ive seen!
  • Dress your burgers with any number or great things- BBQ suace is a particular favorite.
  • Also try crumbling cooked burgers and using the 'meat' as taco filling- tastes delicious especially with taco sauce.
