INGREDIENTS:
3 cups (or 2 cans drained) cooked black beans
1 cup frozen sweet onion and bell pepper mix
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 slices whole-wheat bread, torn into pieces
water (as needed)
DIRECTIONS:
DIRECTIONS:
Toss ingredients into a food processor and blend until even. May also be mashed up in a bowl, adding one ingredient at a time.
May be pan-fried to order - works great as a substitute for falafel as well. Best results come from baking.
To bake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet. Shape into burgers approx. 3/4 inch (2 cm) each. I fit 3x4 rows of rectangular bread-slice-sized burgers onto one sheet. Bake until cooked in the center and crisp in the outside, flipping every 10 minutes, for a total of 30-40 minutes.
