Black Bean Brown Rice Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse half the beans with scallions, jalapeno, and cumin until a chunky paste forms. In a large bowl, combine bean puree with rice and remaining beans; season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture into eight 3-inch-wide patties. (To freeze, wrap individually in plastic and freeze up to 2 weeks; thaw before cooking.)
• Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil; place in oven to heat, 5 minutes. Carefully place patties on hot sheet; bake until bottoms are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let rest on sheet 5 minutes before removing.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, cilantro, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve patties topped with yogurt sauce and cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute peppers and onion in oil until tender. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, vinegar, garlic salt, pepper and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook onions in 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until translucent but not browned, 2-4 minutes; remove from heat and set aside. In bowl of a food processor fitted with blade attachment, pulse half the beans and rice until mixture forms a thick paste. In a large bowl, add processed bean mixture, remaining black beans and rice, cooked onion, bread crumbs, egg yolks, 2 tablespoons salsa, salt and pepper; mix well with hands, squeezing until mixture holds together. Form bean mixture into 4 patties. Cook burgers over medium heat in remaining 1 tablespoon oil until firm and browned, 4-5 minutes on each side., In a small bowl, combine sour cream and remaining salsa. Layer a lettuce leaf, burger, cheese and sour cream mixture on each bun bottom, adding tomato and red onion as desired. Replace bun tops.

Steps:

• In a small pot, combine rice and 1 cup water; bring to a boil, and then turn down to medium heat and cook 20 minutes.In a saucepan, heat a little oil over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and soft.
• Add the corn and spices and cook until the corn is defrosted, another 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mash the drained beans with a fork or your fingers.
• Add the rice, corn, and onion; combine, mashing it with your fork as you go. Taste and adjust the spices now, because once you put the egg in you could risk salmonella.
• Add the egg and mix in well.
• Add the breadcrumbs.
• Form into patties by patting the desired amount of mixtured into a flat round. (I used a giant cookie scoop to make sure all the patties were the same size, but you can just divide the mixture into six sections).
• Cook about 2 minutes on each side (if you can't flip the patty without breaking it, it's probably not finished cooking).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pulse ingredients in a food processor until combined and season with salt.
• Divide mixture into six portions and form into 1-inch-thick patties. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and bake until tops are golden and crisp, about 20 minutes.
