Chris New Black Bean Rice Burgers Recipes

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:

• 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 large bowl, add black beans, rice, corn, seasonings, and egg. Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients until thoroughly mixed together.
• Once mashed, add the bread crumbs and mix to combine.
• Take a quarter of the mixture and shape it into a patty using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture to create four patties.
• In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes, flip, top with a slice of pepper jack, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
• Place patties on buns, and top with sliced tomato, red onion, avocado, and fresh salsa.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend black beans and kidney beans to a fine mash. It is alright if some bean chunks still remain solid.
• In a large mixing bowl, add to bean mash any desired spices. I strongly reccomend liberal amounts of chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. You might also add an adobo seasoning.
• Should you desire, you might add any kind of chopped or shredded vegetables at this point. From experience, I find salsa is a nice addition.
• Mix in 1.5 cups of cooked brown rice into bean mash and stir till even consistancy. Gradually fold in entire package bread crumbs- bean mash will visibly thicken, it is advisable to use your hands at this point.
• Grab small palmfulls of bean mix and flatten into burger sized patties. I generally find I make about 28 patties in one go- this is variable as yours may be smaller or larger.
• I freeze patties for weeks (months) at a time in an air-tight container or freezer bag.
• To cook- either bake in a toaster oven until exterior is crusty and crispy, or pan fry with a small amount of oil or cooking spray. These are very firm burgers and will hold up extremly well- better than any other bean burger ive seen!
• Dress your burgers with any number or great things- BBQ suace is a particular favorite.
• Also try crumbling cooked burgers and using the 'meat' as taco filling- tastes delicious especially with taco sauce.

• Spread cut sides of bun bottoms with mayonnaise; top with burgers, tomato, spinach and red onion. Cover with bun tops.

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes; roughly chop.
• Put the mushrooms, beans, garlic, oats, spices and soy sauce in a food processor with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let the machine run until the mixture is combined, not puréed, about 30 seconds. (Or use a potato masher.) Add oats to thicken, or liquid to thin, as needed.
• Stir in the cilantro, and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Shape into 4 large or 8 small patties; let them sit for 5 minutes.
• Put the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until crisp on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the burgers are crisp on the other side, another 5 minutes or so. Serve with the usual fixings.
