Black bean burgers

Having a friend’s get together and want to have some burgers? You’ll like these better than meat!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cup of cooked black beans, drained and pureed or mashed
• 1 ½ cup of cooked lentils, drain and pureed or mashed
• 1 cup of oatmeal flour (ground oatmeal)
• ¼ cup of ground pecans
• ¾ cup of rolled or old fashion oatmeal
• ¼ cup diced onion
• ¼ cup diced carrot
• ¼ cup diced celery
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• Dash of salt

Instructions:

1. In a food processor, mix all the ingredients together until well combine, reserve the oatmeal flour.
2. Add little by little the oatmeal flour until you get a consistency that allows you to form a patty.
3. Grill for 3 minutes on each side with a little sunflower oil to have a golden and crispy finish. Serve on top of romaine lettuce with cashew dressing or tomato

Tip: Sautee the veggies before adding them to the mix for a richer flavor.
