Meatless Black Bean Patties

It's ready! What is? My perfect Meatless Black Bean Patty recipe.

I found a recipe a few months back that I liked and made a few tweaks to it, a few more and even more until I found what I wanted.

What was I looking for?

A meatless "meaty" patty to use for when I am hungry for a burger - whether wrapped in lettuce, on top of a bed of spinach or in my No Corn Bread as a sandwhich.

After playing around a few times, I found my perfect mix!

It's hearty, loaded with protein, is very flavorful and provides the meatiness I was looking for - feel free to try it out for yourself!

INGREDIENTS: (makes 4 patties)

• 1 can of organic black beans, drained and rinsed

• ¼ (apprx) cup of chopped onion (I use organic purple)

• ¼ (apprx) cup of chopped bell pepper (I prefer red, yellow, orange)

• 1 cup chopped mushrooms

• 3 Tbs of chickpea/garbanzo bean flour

• 1 egg

• ½ Tbs of Worcestershire sauce

• 1 Tbs of barbeque sauce

• Optional: 1 oz of fresh Mozzarella cheese cut up or grated

• Seasons to taste: Himalayan salt, black pepper, garlic powder, all seasons no salt, turmeric, cumin, chili powder (and whatever else you like)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Drain and rinse beans. Pour out on a paper towel on a plate and pat dry. Remove paper towel and press beans with a fork until mashed, but not completely smooth. Put in a bowl.

• Add all other ingredients and mix together.

• Form patties and put on parchment paper, or a lightly sprayed baking sheet. I use my NuWave Oven and spray a light mist of avocado oil on the base of the tray.

• Bake at 350ºfor 10 minutes, flip and bake another 10. Makes 6 patties.

• Serve and ENJOY!
