Black Bean Burger Recipe
Ingredients:
1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup organic garbanzo beans, drained (save), rinsed
cup cooked green lentils, drained, placed in refrigerator uncovered
1 medium size red beet, rinsed, peeled and grated
1 cup mushrooms after slicing and dicing
1 yellow, red or orange bell pepper, stems removed, seeded and diced
large yellow onion, super fine dice
1 tsp. Garlic powder
tsp. Smoked paprika
cup nutritional yeast
3 Tbsp. arrowroot
Salt
Pepper
Chile flakes to taste
1 handful of fresh organic Italian parsley, chopped
8 - 10 leaves of fresh basil, organic, chopped
Olive oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Place the drained and rinsed black beans and garbanzo beans on a foil lined baking sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer. Pat them dry with paper towels. Place in the middle of the oven for 10 - 15 minutes or until they look dry. Remove from the oven to cool.

Place the grated beet into a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes or until tender. Pour through a strainer and then using the back of a spoon, press the beets to extract more liquid.

In a large frying pan place 1 teaspoon of olive oil and turn the heat to medium. Add the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and lower the heat to low and saute for 10 minutes or until softened. Set aside to cool.

Place the black beans, garbanzo beans, lentils, and the onion mixture into a large food processor. If it all wont fit, leave some out. Pulse the processor until just broken down. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add the beets and mix a bit to combine using clean hands.

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, arrowroot, and nutritional yeast about at a time mixing between additions. This will help to evenly distribute everything.

Lastly, add the chopped parsley and basil and mix once more. You can taste the mixture at any time to see if you need to add more spices.

Form the bean mixture into patties. In a large frying pan add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan over medium low heat.

Once the oil is hot add the burgers to the pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom crusts a bit and turns a nice brown color. Flip the patties and repeat on the second side.

You can serve these as a main dish with a side of veggies and or a salad, on a hamburger bun or on bread toasted with butter in the pan to make a wonderful patty melt as I did in the video.

Enjoy!
