Description

Ingredients

• 1 14-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained (or red kidney beans)
• ½ medium white onion, chopped fine (about ½ cup)
• 2 small cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ cup fresh parsley
• ¼ cup rolled oats or breadcrumbs (certified gluten-free if GF is important to you)
• ½ - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste (use less salt if the beans have salt added)
• freshly cracked black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• about ¼ cup flour of choice (I used chickpea flour)
• grape seed oil for sautéing

Directions

• In a food processor, add in all the ingredients (except the last two: flour & oil) and mix until fully combined.
• (Or mash the beans with a potato masher in a large bowl and mix in all the ingredients with a wooden spoon or your hands).
• Transfer to a large bowl so its easier to work from.
• Scoop up about two tablespoons of the mixture into the palm of your hands and shape like a patty. Continue with all the mixture.
• Sprinkle the flour onto a large plate, drop the patty onto the flour and coat all over, dust off excess with your fingers.
• Heat a large cast iron pan, drizzle oil on the bottom and place the patties on the pan.
• Cook each side on medium low heat for about 3-5 minutes, then turn them over to cook the other side, until the colour darkens and they are firmer in shape.
• Alternatively, you can bake them at 350 F for 20-30 minutes, turning over half way through.
• Let cool for 5 minutes until serving.
