Healthy Low-fat Black Bean Veggie Burgers

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2-2 tablespoons pureed onions (i prefer green onions)
• 1 cup black beans, well drained
• 1 -3 tablespoon whole wheat flour
• 1 slice whole wheat bread, very well crumbled
• 1 -1 1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
• salt and pepper
• oil (for frying)

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth (or puree with the onions).
• 2 add onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is at your desired consistency.
• 3 form bean mixture into flat patties and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm.
• 4 serve topped with hummus or a greek feta salad salad dressing, spread on a whole wheat bun. i tried these with the usual ketchup and they weren't nearly as good -- trust me.
