Grill Season Is Upon Us!!
Summer is back! There will be pool parties, barbecues, and 4th of July engagements galore. All of which include food so what's a vegan or vegetarian to do? Bring these black bean burgers, of course!
Try this hearty yet flavorful vegan recipe that can be either grilled right away or kept frozen until needed.
Ingredients:
2 cups of cooked black beans
1/4 of a green pepper diced
1/4 onion diced
1 serrano, jalapeno or fresno pepper diced
3 sprigs of fresh oregano or 1 1/2 tsp of dry
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 cup corn
1 tsp of chili powder
1/4 cup of ground oats
2 tbsp corn meal
1 tbsp of flax mixed with a 1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place a pan of water on the lowest rack to keep the burgers from drying out.
Prepare the mixture of flax and water first as this mixture will need to sit for 10 minutes until it becomes viscous. This is your egg substitute and will act as the binding agent to keep the patties together.
Add rinsed beans, onions and peppers together and mash. Then adding the flax/water mixture, ground oats, corn meal and spices and mix/mash thoroughly. Mix corn in last to keep kernels whole. Oil baking sheet and form patties to make 3 large 4 small ones. You can also double up this recipe if you are cooking for more people. Throw them on the cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes on each side. They are then ready to put on the grill immediately or you can freeze them for a later date. They are best served on a pretzel bun with avocado, mixed greens and tomato.
