I wanted something different for lunch the other day and came up with this, it was good, filling and only has 92 calories per patty. It's adaptable too, add whatever veggies & seasonings you have on hand.
Black Bean Patties:
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1/2 onion, chopped fine
1 lg stalk celery, chopped fine
1/2 C oats
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp tumeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 T olive oil, divided
2 T sherry (or other liquid)
In skillet heat 1 T oil. Cook onion & celery until soft. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, slightly mash beans. In blender or food processor, pulse oats & spices just until oats are smaller. Add oat mixture and vegetables to beans, mix/mash well. Splash in sherry (or other liquid). Heat griddle and grease with remaining oil. Measure by 1/4 cup onto griddle, press down to form patties. Cook 2-3 min per side or until golden brown. Makes 5 patties.
* I had this on a bed of romaine lettuce with a few homemade tortilla chips. My husband had his "burger" style with cheese and ketchup. Definitely a recipe I'll be making again.
This sounds really good. I will have to try it sometime. At times (especially if there are no leftovers on hand) I have trouble deciding what to eat for lunch. This would be good ... could even cook the patties and then store in the freezer for those times, I would think.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mrs. T. I forgot to mention in the original post that I'm planning to make a large batch next time to freeze. :) I hope you enjoy them.
