• let the mixture sit while you heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan.
• on a sheet of wax paper, spread out a 1/4 cup of the cornmeal evenly.
• divide the black bean mixture into 4 equal parts and begin flattening them into patty shape.
• press each patty onto the cornmeal and cover the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup of cornmeal.
• once they are coated with cornmeal, begin placing the patties onto the hot frying pan.

Steps:

• On a small plate, set aside flour for coating. In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion, garlic, oregano, and hot peppers in oil on medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Add the peppers and sauté another 2 minutes, until pepper is tender. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a potato masher or fork. Stir in the vegetables (including the corn), breadcrumbs, cumin, salt, chili powder, and parsley. Mix well. Divide and shape into 6 patties.
• Lay down each patty in flour, coating each side. Cook on a lightly oiled frying pan on medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes or until browned on both sides.

HEALTHY LOW-FAT BLACK BEAN VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth (or puree with the onions).
• Add onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is at your desired consistency.
• Form bean mixture into flat patties and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm.
• Serve topped with hummus or a Greek feta salad salad dressing, spread on a whole wheat bun. I tried these with the usual ketchup and they weren't nearly as good -- trust me.

BLACK BEAN BURGER

Steps:

• Put the wholemeal bread and walnuts in a food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-10 mins until soft. Cut in half and scrape the cooked centres into the food processor with the bread and walnut crumbs. Make sure the beans are drained thoroughly then add them to the processor with the paprika, cumin, onion granules, and tomato puree. Season generously and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and holding together. Divide the mix into 4 patties and chill for 20 mins to firm up.
• Meanwhile make the side salad by mixing the cucumber, carrot, coriander, lime juice and rapeseed oil together. Season and put to one side.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties and fry for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and hot through. Place a small handful of rocket into each burger bun. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, and then avocado. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or burger sauce of your choice. Serve with the carrot and cucumber salad alongside.

• Add the jalapeno peppers and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off heat and stir in the chili powder, ground cumin and oregano. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

• Add the cooked onions and stir to combine.
• Add the eggs,cilantro (more or less depending on how much you like cilantro), salt and pepper. You can add a bit more pepper if desired.

• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until well browned. Carefully flip over the burgers and cook about 3 minutes on the second side. Like most vegetarian burgers, they can crumble, so extra care needs to be taken when frying them.

• Add oats and stir to mix well.

• Bake 8 minutes on each side. The recipe says you can also "fry" burgers in non-stick fry pan.
• Serve w/ whole wheat buns w/ toppings of choice. Enjoy this recipe made 7 good sized burgers.
