Instructions
- Black Bean Patties: Heat oil in skillet set over medium heat. Cook onions, jalapeño and garlic for 5 to 8 minutes or until very tender; let cool completely.
- In food processor, pulse together bread crumbs, walnuts, oats, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika and brown sugar until combined. Add half of the black beans; pulse until mashed. Stir in remaining black beans.
- Divide into 4 portions. Shape each portion into 1/2-inch thick patty; refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 days. Alternatively, freeze between layers of parchment paper in airtight container for up to 1 month. (This recipe requires 2 patties, refrigerate or freeze remaining 2 patties for your next meal.)
- Loaded Veggie Burgers: Whisk together tahini paste, 1 tbsp water, soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, garlic, salt and pepper; set aside. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet set over medium heat; cook patties for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve patties in buns with tahini sauce, avocado, arugula, caramelized onions, tomatoes and goat cheese.
Tip: For homemade caramelized onions, melt 1 tbsp butter in skillet set over medium heat. Cook 1 large sliced onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper for 5 to 8 minutes or until starting to brown. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
