Nathan Nearing Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Nice and simple recipe for a black bean burger. I usually serve on rye bread with some organic ketchup and sometimes lettuce and onion. Be aware that these are a tad spicy because of the cayenne pepper, but you can just use a little less if the spice doesn't suit you. 1 can black beans1 cup cooked brown rice¼ tsp cumin1 tsp cayenne pepper2 tbsp ground flax seed1 tbsp arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) Preheat oven to 300°. Combine all in a food processor and blend into a thick paste. Form into patties with hand and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping once. I find 20 minutes usually does it, but my last batch could have benefited from the extra five. Makes 5-6 medium burgers.

beforewisdom Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I like the simplicity and price of the ingredients! I saved this to my hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoPunk Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Sounds good! Have you tried freezing these at all? How do they hold up and reheat if so? Those would be nice to have on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Nearing Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I haven't tried freezing them. I make two batches now a days, and even then they only last two days, haha. They reheat rather well from the fridge though. I'm going to try to take a picture of the stuff I make, because these are rather good looking.

Theresaann Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 thanks so much for posting that! I've been intimidated to try making a burger, but that sounds so easy, and delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Seems like a great recipe. This (and oatmeal) is basically the only way I use grains now these days. I only have one question, what is parchment paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommybricks Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'd love to see a pic. My girlfriend has tried a few times to make decent burgers. She wants to try these tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I usually add some sort of soy sauce (tamari or regular) when I do burgers, not su much for flavour as for coloring. I think some chopped red or yellow onions or onion powder would make a great addition to these burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have one question, what is parchment paper? It's like wax paper, but safe for the oven. It's just paper that's non-stick and safe for the oven. Saves clean up time and where I live in a household with people who are non-vegan, it makes it safer for me (since my food never touches the sheet).

tommybricks Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I made these for dinner tonight, with a few more spices and things. They turned out really well. Normally when we try to make burgers like this they don't firm up. These got nice and crusty on the outside and stayed together pretty well. The insides were still a little mushy. Overall they were good and I'll probably make them again. Thanks for the great recipie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
