Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked vegetables (whatever you have in the fridge! Onions, mushrooms, carrots, etc.)
- 1 cup salsa (alternatively, or additionally, you could cook onions, tomatoes, garlic – whatever you have available.)
- 1 can black beans (or any kind of bean) drained and well rinsed.
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon coriander
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup cooked rice (or any other cooked grain you have on hand)
- ½ cup chopped nuts
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- ¾ cup garbanzo bean flour (breadcrumbs or regular flour)
Recipe
- If not cooked, prepare up to a cup of vegetables by sauteing them in a small amount of olive oil until tender.
- Combine beans and salsa in a large bowl.
- Add seasonings, leftover rice or grain and stir to combine.
- Stir in nuts and tamari.
- If using additional cooked veggies, add those now and stir thoroughly.
- Stir in garbanzo flour.
- Mash the mixture with a potato masher until coarsely blended. Or, place about ⅔ of the mixture in a food processor and pulse until roughly pureed, then return pureed mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Heat oil in a skillet.
- Form patties from the mixture using your hands or shape with an ice cream scoop and flatten. Place patties in the pan.
- Once the patties are browned on one side, flip over and brown on the other.
