:intro from Joan and Black Bean Burgers recipe

[Guest guest]

Hi

I enjoying preparing all kinds of foods in all categories. Love to cook and

bake.

 

I have vegetarian and vegan relatives plus a diabetic relative, a few with

high cholesterol etc. plus the meat and potatoes eaters

 

So when they all come for dinners or holidays, I do not mind serving 2 soups, 3

entrees, several sides dishes, and salads as well as desserts to please

everyone. I love to do it and it's a challenge but. Of course I often have

recipes than fit the bill and cover many dietary needs.

 

I love the following recipe for black bean burgers because it is so simple and

yet so delicious. I found out at a recent barbecue I gave, more requests for

them than the beef ones!

 

I often prepare and pan fry them, then freeze them. Then I simply thaw and

reheat on a grill sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

 

 

 

 

Title: Black Bean Burgers

Yield: 6 servings

 

 

2, 15 oz can black beans

1/2 cup chunky salsa ( medium or hot for best flavor )

1/4 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup white or whole wheat flour

1 tsp cumin

1 clove garlic salt and pepper to taste

optional : chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

 

 

 

Delicious and they held together

very nicely. A good alternative to have on

hand for non meat eaters. Rinse and drain beans. Place

in food processor and process until almost smooth. Add

remainders and process well mixed

Divide into 6 portions and make patties with your hands. Chill well.

 

To prepare: heat some olive oil in skillet and cook

until browned on both sides. Serves on buns with lettuce, tomatoes and

onions.

 

 

Also grills well, be sure to spray grill with Pam grilling oil to prevent

burgers from

sticking.

And they freeze well too

 

Enjoy
