Corn and Black Bean Burgers

Serve on whole wheat buns with salsa, red onions,

tomato or your

traditional burger toppings.

 

Ingredients:

2 tsp. olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

2 Tablespoons spicy barbecue sauce

1 cup frozen corn - thawed

1/2 cup cooked rice (may be increased up to 1 cup)

1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans (ground to a coarse

powder)

1 cup plain bread crumbs

salt

 

Directions:

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and

cook until edges

start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add

corn and barbecue sauce. Cook, stirring, for a few

minutes to blend

flavors. Remove pan from heat. Place

corn mixture, rice, and beans in a food processor.

Pulse several times

until ingredients are blended, but

mixture is still chunky. Transfer mix to a large bowl.

Add nuts and

bread crumbs. Mix with a large spoon

until thoroughly combined. Season with salt to taste.

Divide and

shape mixture into 10 small burgers or

6 large ones. Add more bread crumbs if mixture does

not hold together

well. Prepare grill or preheat

broiler. If using a grill, place patties on vegetable

grid. If

broiling, place patties on pan lined with lightly

oiled aluminum foil. Grill over medium hot coals, or

broil 3 to 6

inches from heat until lightly browned --

4 to 6 minutes each side. Serve immediately.
