Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked black beans
  • 1/2 cup quick oats

  • 2 - 4 cloves garlic minced (depends how much you like garlic)
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped fine
    
  • 1/2 cup green or red pepper, chopped fine
  • 1 large stalk celery, chopped fine
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dry ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne or chipotle pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs (4 slices dry whole wheat bread crumbled into tiny pieces (hint: blender or food processor works great)

  2. Sauté garlic & onion in oil until soft

  4. Mix in the herbs & spices and heat through
    

Mixing in a Food Processor:

  1. Process all the ingredients except tahini and liquid seasoning until the mixture forms a loose ball. There should be recognizable bits of veggies and beans
  2. Turn mixture out into a bowl. Mix in tahini and/or liquid seasoning as needed for the mixture to hold together well
  3. Add more breadcrumbs if the mixture seems too sticky
  4. Form the burger mixture into 10 equal sized balls, then flatten into patties 3 - 4 inches across
  5. Cook on medium heat until brown, approx. 10 min per side
  6. Fantastic with a little brown mustard, horseradish and sweet pickle
