Yet another recipe from Caldwell Esselstyn's Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. I'm making it because it is mostly made up of ingredients I keep on hand at home. I'll be serving these burgers on homemade 100% whole wheat buns, which are doing their second rise right now.
Ingredients
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 14.5-ounce can tomatoes with zesty mild chilies
1 garlic clove, minced, or 1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup cilantro or parsley (I omitted this. I don't like how fresh herbs tend to stick out and mess up the texture of this sort of dish.)
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Process first seven ingredients in a food processor until blended.
3. Add to oats and stir.
4. Form into patties, put on a baking sheet, and bake for 8 minutes.
5. Turn oven up and broil about 2 more minutes, until tops are nicely browned. (You can also "fry" the burgers in a nonstick pan until both sides are browned -- or grill on the barbecue.)
6. Serve on whole-grain burger buns (recipe recommends Ezekiel 4:9 brand) with lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, ketchup, or no-tahini hummus.
[Edited 2/27/13: These are quite good, with a sort of Mexican flavor. The one thing I would change is how I served them. They're a little mushy and fell apart when I ate one on a bun. I'd like to try making them as croquettes and serve them over a sort of taco salad. Simran ate almost half an entire patty. It took some chewing and she has no teeth, but it didn't prove a problem for her.]
