Black bean patties
1 can (16 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon minced red onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 large egg
1/3 cup whole grain bread crumbs
olive oil for cooking
In a large bowl, beat the egg. Add about 3/4 of the black beans along with the onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, pepper, salt, and hot sauce. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the ingredients together until the black beans turn into a "paste-like" texture. Stir in the breadcrumbs until well combined and gently fold in the remaining 1/4 of the black beans.
In a large skillet, warm about 1 tablespoon of olive oil until hot. Form three patties out of your black bean mixture and cook on both sides until golden and cooked through.
Mango salsa
1 ripe (but not over-ripe) mango, peeled and diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 small red onion, peeled and diced
juice and zest of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until serving time.
Serve the patties topped with the mango salsa. You can serve them on a toasted roll or flat bread (as pictured above) or without any bread. You can also add other toppings such as cheese, lettuce, lime/chipotle mayo, or anything else you feel like trying! The possibilities are really endless with these patties.

Lovely healthy patties and I just love the mango salsa on top, looks too delicious.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to make patties with beans but it sounds great!
