Steps:

• (All measurements are estimates since I eyeball everything).
• Drain and mash the black beans. (Do NOT puree -- you want it to still have some texture).
• Stir in salsa, minced onion, and all spices (including Bragg amino liquids, which can be found in the health food section).
• Add in flour until the mixture forms a "dough" about the consistency of very soft cookie dough.
• Lightly grease a frying pan, and turn the temperature very high.
• Spoon onto the pan and spread it out to desired thickness. At this point, I like to add some more of the amino liquids over the top.
• Cook about 2 min on each side, or until it holds itself together when turned.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leek, mushrooms, thyme, tofu and kale for about 5 mins. Add the mustard, tamari and half of the black beans and give it a good stir. Transfer the mixture to a blender and pulse a few times - don't over-blend, it needs to be quite chunky in texture. Scoop into a bowl and add the rest of the black beans, the oat bran, rice and chopped nuts, then mix well.
• Divide the mixture into 4-6 evenly sized portions and shape into patties using your hands. Tip the gram flour onto a plate, if using, then roll the patties in the flour to coat.
