My super secret absolutely incredible recipe for vegan black bean burgers!

I've shared this recipe with a few clients over the past 2 weeks, and the feedback has been resoundingly positive. My carnivorous husband has requested them on nights his guy friends come to visit- they MUST be good!

Vegan black bean burgers:

1 C black beans (cooked and drained)
1 C garbanzo beans (cooked and drained)
2 C cooked rice
1/4 C applesauce (can sub 2 egg whites if desired)
1 T olive oil
1 T soy sauce
1 T dried thyme
1 T fresh parsley
1/4 C grated carrots
salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything together in a blender until it looks like chunky slop. Form into cookie-size patties (I scoop them directly into the pan with a spoon) in a greased skillet and cook for 4-5 min on each side. Add a slice of rice cheese during the final 30 seconds, put it on a toasted bun and you have perfection. I like to add sauteed onions and mushrooms and a dollop of guac.

Makes about 8 burgers. Approx 150 cal per burger.

Enjoy!
