SPICY VEGAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Add onion and garlic to a small pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp. of water. Saute until veggies start to soften.**
• Scoop cooked veggies into a blender or food processor and pulse 2-3 times until combined, but not total mush.
• Add beans to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until about half of the beans are mashed and the other half are still intact.
• Add onion and garlic mixture to the bowl as well as remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Form mixture into 6 balls and flatten into patties.*** Place patties on baking sheet and put in the freezer for at least an hour.
• If you are going to eat them right away, heat a pan over medium heat. Coat with non-stick spray and add frozen patties. Cook until browned and warmed through (about 6-8 minutes per side).
• Serve on a burger bun, in a wrap or over a salad with your favorite toppings.
• If you plan to store the patties for later: remove baking sheet from the freezer after an hour and cut parchment paper into squares. Stack patties on top of each other (with a piece of parchment paper between each patty) and place in freezer proof container. When ready to serve, follow cooking instructions above - no need to thaw patties.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat.
• Add the red onion and garlic to the pan and saute until softened, about 8 minutes and then set aside to cool for a few minutes.
• Combine beans, egg, oats, onion, mixture, chili paste, salt, pepper and cilantro and thoroughly mix and mash until pretty homogeneous, leaving a few whole beans.
• Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
• Refrigerate patties for half an hour. (This step is not completely necessary but I find it helps hold the burgers together while cooking.).
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place burgers carefully into the oil, being careful not to crowd the pan.
• After 4 minutes, flip and cook another 4 minutes. They should feel firm to the touch when finished.
• Note: To freeze for later use, after shaping flash freeze and then wrap in plastic wrap. Place wrapped burgers into freezer bag and squeeze out excess air. To cook from frozen, simply heat frozen burgers over medium-high heat on the stove-top, cooking until done.
