Black Bean Veggie Burger Recipe
by Executive Chef John Nicely
Makes 4, 6 oz. patties

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 2 cups black beans, canned
• 2 cups brown rice, cooked
• 3/4 cup oat brand
• 3 tablespoons onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon beets, chopped
• 2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos, diced
• 2 egg whites

Chef’s Notes:
To begin, cook the brown rice according to the package directions and let cool completely. Drain the black beans and mash in a medium sized bowl. Next, add the beets, bread crumbs, BBQ sauce, molasses, onions and jalapeños. Hand mix thoroughly and then add the rice, oats, egg whites and spices. Again, hand mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined.

Separate mixture and form into 6 ounce patties. Add teaspoon olive oil to a skillet or pan, heat and add patties. Brown patties on both sides and serve on a whole wheat bun topped with Cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce. If you like, add your favorite lettuce, tomato and onion.
