Have you ever had a vegi burger? I have and had some pretty gross ones at that! It can be hard to find a good one but if you like a little southwestern flair, please try this recipe. They are so good even Ariel (who is not very into vegetables) likes this one! Try serving this with my crunchy oven fried onion rings or a nice little green salad. Here’s what
you’ll need:
- 2 cans black beans, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup fresh, dry (very important) bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. each, onion powder and garlic powder
- 1 tsp. each, salt and pepper
- dash hot sauce, or 2 or 3 if you like!
- 1 egg
Saute onions, pepper and garlic in the butter, just until softened. About 2 to 3 minutes. Place all ingredients and sauteed vegetables into a food processor. Pulse intermittenly on low until blended but not completely smooth. You may have to scrapes sides a few times. Shape into patties and place in a well oiled hot skillet or griddle cook until browned, turning once. Brown other side add cheese if you like to melt. I like cheddar and/or pepperjack. Place on a nice toasty gourmet bun and serve with your choice of condiments. Some suggestions:I like to serve with my pineapple mango salsa and avacado slices. You could also use barbeque sauce and red onions , red salsa and avacado or traditional lettuce and tomato with a spicy mustard or chipotle mayo. You decide, but however you top it, it will always come out on top! Enjoy
