Vegan Patty Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bean Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, mash the canned black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and fresh cilantro to the mashed beans. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Bind the Mixture

    Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until the mixture holds together without being too sticky. Adjust the flour quantity as needed.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  5. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the patties from the skillet and serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
