For a surefire meatless mainstay, Marguerite Shaeffer swears by these moist and delicious salsa-topped burgers. âI first sampled them at an âEating Rightâ session at our local library,â she writes from Sewell, New Jersey. âAnd they can hold their own against any veggie burger youâd buy at the supermarket. Theyâre wonderful! TASTY TIP Our recipes often give a range on certain herbs and spices to accommodate different tastes. If you like the heat of chili powder, use 2 teaspoons in your Grilled Bean Burgers; for a milder version, use 1 teaspoon. Ingredients:
1 large onion, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 medium carrot, shredded |
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained |
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained |
1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon ketchup |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
8 whole wheat hamburger buns, split |
8 lettuce leaves |
8 tablespoons salsa |
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute onion in oil for 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Stir in the carrot, chili powder and cumin; cook 2 minutes longer or until carrot is tender. Remove from the heat; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mash the pinto beans and black beans. Stir in oats. Add the mustard, soy sauce, ketchup, pepper and carrot mixture; mix well. Shape into eight 3-1/2-in. patties.
3. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Grill patties, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until heated through. Serve on buns with lettuce and salsa. Yield: 8 servings.
