Black Bean Burgers With Chipotle Slaw Recipes

SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and chipotle, set aside.
• Dry the beans well after washing, extra moisture will keep the burgers from sticking.
• In a medium bowl, mash beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and garlic, then add oats, then eggs and spices.
• Then stir into mashed beans.
• Divide mixture into four patties (using slightly oiled hands helps) and place them onto a flat surface covered with wax paper. (If it's too wet, chill the mixture 30 minutes in the refrigerator or add another tablespoon of oats)
• Freeze at least 2 hours before cooking or keep frozen until ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly sprayed skillet to medium heat and cook frozen burgers about 7 minutes on each side.
• If grilling, preheat grill over medium heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil; grill 7-8 minutes on each side or you can bake in the oven at 375° on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

BLACK BEAN BURGER

Steps:

• Put the wholemeal bread and walnuts in a food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-10 mins until soft. Cut in half and scrape the cooked centres into the food processor with the bread and walnut crumbs. Make sure the beans are drained thoroughly then add them to the processor with the paprika, cumin, onion granules, and tomato puree. Season generously and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and holding together. Divide the mix into 4 patties and chill for 20 mins to firm up.
• Meanwhile make the side salad by mixing the cucumber, carrot, coriander, lime juice and rapeseed oil together. Season and put to one side.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties and fry for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and hot through. Place a small handful of rocket into each burger bun. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, and then avocado. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or burger sauce of your choice. Serve with the carrot and cucumber salad alongside.
