Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Flax Egg

    In a small bowl, combine flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

  2. 2

    Mash the Beans

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

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Add oats, chopped red bell pepper, onion, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and the prepared flax egg to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.

  5. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Scallion Aioli Preparation
