Description

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 C Cooked black beans/ 1 can
• 1/4 C Mole sauce (see below)
• 1/3 C Chopped green onions
• 1/4 C Fresh coriander
• 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp Chipotle chili powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 C Rolled oats
• 1/3 C Diced bell pepper (any colour, or a combination)
• 1/2 Tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Medium onion, diced
• 1 Clove of garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp Mild chili powder
• 1 Tbsp Coconut sugar
• 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Chipotle chili powder
• 1/16 tsp Ground cloves
• 1/2 400g/14oz Can of chopped tomatoes
• 1-1/2 Tbsp Cocoa powder
• 1-1/2 Tbsp Peanut OR Almond butter
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

• (If baking the burgers, preheat oven to 200C/400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper)
• Make the mole sauce first.
• In a medium-sized pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for approx 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic, sugar and spices and continue to cook for a further minute. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a simmer and cook on low for 10-15 minutes. Blend using an immersion blender and set aside.
• For the burgers, in a food processor, blend the black beans, 1/4 C mole sauce, green onions, spices and salt until you have a chunky purée. Pulse in the oats and finally stir through the diced pepper.
• For 4 large burgers, use a 1/3 C measuring cup to divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and flatten into thick patties.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers for approx 6-8 minutes on each side, or until brown. Alternatively, place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for approx 30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
• Serve burgers topped with the remaining mole sauce and sliced avocado (essentials!) plus your favourite burger toppings- vegan sour cream, sliced tomato, onion, etc.
