Ingredients

  • 15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 15 oz can dark red kidney beans rinsed and rained
  • 1 cup brown rice cooked according to directions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or whatever starch you prefer
  • 2 tablespoons dried onions
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ - 1 cup all-purpose flour (or sub whole wheat or gluten-free flour)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine the beans, brown rice, and olive oil in a food processor together. Pulse for a few seconds until slightly combined, but the ingredients are still roughly intact.
  • Next add the remaining ingredients except for the flour. Pulse for several seconds and then use a spatula to push down any attempted escapees. Pulse again until still course, but fairly combined.
  • Use a spoon to add the flour. This is a very dense mixture so you may need to use the spatula with determination to get the flour distributed throughout.
  • Heat a toaster oven or your regular oven to 200F.
  • Next, heat a skillet over medium heat. Spray a little vegetable spray or olive oil in the skillet. Make patties and place on the skillet. While the bottom side is cooking, sprinkle the top side with salt and cracked pepper. Once the bottom has browned, flip the burger and cook the opposite side too, until browned.
  • Place the finished patties on a pan and place in the warmed oven to set and stay warm while you cook the rest of the patties using the process in #5 above.
  • Let the veggie burgers sit in the warmed oven at least 10 minutes before serving.
