Black Eyed Pea Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Place the drained peas in a large bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in skillet, add garlic, chilies, and cumin.
• Saute about 2 minutes, then add onion and corn.
• Reduce heat to medium, sauté until onions are very translucent and corn is thawed.
• Place in bowl with peas, mash with immersion blender and mash, it is OK if some peas and other items remain whole.
• Let cool and add bread crumbs, stir.
• Add flour and form into 4 patties on waxed paper.
• Heat skillet on medium heat, spray each burger with cooking spray.
• Cook on each side until golden brown.
• Store unused patties in Tupperware.
• To serve: Salsa, guacamole, cheese slice, lettuce OR sliced tomatoes, mayonnaise, cheese slice, sliced avocado on toasted burger buns.

Steps:

• Puree or mash all ingredients in a food processor. Form patties by hand and cook until slightly browned on a flat griddle. Serve with ketchup, tomatoes, onions and watercress or with Annie's Goddess Dressing.

Steps:

• Patties
• Cook amaranth, according to package directions. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
• Combine scallions, mushrooms, chile, black-eyed peas, parsley, tamari, flaxseed meal, miso, and ½ tsp. salt in a food processor. Sprinkle 1-2 Tbsp. cooled amaranth over mixture and pulse until just combined. Repeat process until all of amaranth has been incorporated. Taste and season purée with pepper and more salt if needed. Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to make 6 portions (a cookie scoop works great if you've got one) and form into patties that match the size of your buns. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Sauce and assembly
• While the patties are chilling, make the sauce. Whisk barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, chili-garlic sauce, mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar in a small bowl to combine. Sauce should taste spicy, tart, and sweet.
• Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-low. Pour in oil just to thinly coat bottom of pan. Working in 3 batches to avoid crowding, cook patties, adjusting heat and adding more oil as needed, until browned (a crisp crust should form), about 5 minutes per side. (You can keep patties warm on a fresh parchment-lined baking sheet in a 250° oven if needed.)
• Build burgers with patties, buns, sauce, and chowchow.
• Do ahead: Sauce can be made 1 month ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
