A tasty black bean burger with onion, BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese. These great-tasting burgers don’t demand a mind-numbing list of unusual ingredients. You can easily double the recipe and freeze some for another night. From Today's Parent Magazine. Ingredients:
1 (540 ml) can black beans |
1/3 cup onion, coarsely chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons barbecue sauce or 3 tablespoons ketchup, divided |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Drain beans, then rinse with cold water. Drain well, then pat dry with paper towels. Place in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add onion, garlic, egg, 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire, oil, salt and pepper. Pulse just until beans are about the size of peas. Don’t purée. Turn into a large bowl.
2. 2. Stir in flour with a spatula until evenly mixed. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. (Only store-bought bread crumbs or crackers ground in a processor until very fine will work.) Stir inches Mixture will be very thick. Scatter with cheese and work in with your hands. Divide mixture into 6 portions. Using well-floured hands, shape into burgers, about 1/2 in (1 cm) thick. If making ahead, refrigerate in a sealed container up to 1 day or freeze.
3. 3. Cook burgers in a well-oiled frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until browned on the bottom. Turn over and spoon the remaining barbecue sauce on top. Cover and continue cooking until heated through, about 5 minutes more.
