Black beans burgers

For today, I prepared another vegan burger, which represents a great alternative for a classic meat burger. This time I used black beans, then I added oats and whole wheat flour, thanks to which it’s very compact. You can serve it with vegetables as desired.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 burgers

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked black beans, strained well
¼ cup oats
¼ cup whole wheat flour
¾ tsp cumin
½ tsp red chili pepper, finely chopped
½ ground garlic
½ tsp salt
¼ salsa sauce (Look for the recipe below.)
1 tbsp olive oil
a few pinches of cornflour (optional)

Decoration (quantity as desired):
lettuce
zucchini
kohlrabi
radishes
carrots
parsley leaves

Instructions:
1. Mash cooked black beans in a food processor.
2. Add oats, whole wheat flour, cumin, red chili pepper, garlic, salt, and salsa sauce, then mix again until combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more whole wheat flour.
3. Shape the burgers from the resulting mixture in the desired size with your hands. Sprinkle cornflour on top of every burger.
4. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan at moderate temperature. Fry the burgers for 5 minutes on each side, until cornflour gets crispy.
5. Serve with lettuce, parsley leaves, pieces of kohlrabi, zucchini, carrots, and radishes.
6. Serve and enjoy.
