Ingredients

  • 1 large onion (finely minced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely minced)

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne (use more or less based on your preference)
  • 14 oz pinto beans
  • 14 oz red kidney beans
  • 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats (I ran regular rolled oats in the food processor for a minute)

  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce. Leave out if soy-free and use more salt)
  • Salt to taste

For serving

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet and saute the onion and garlic with a tiny bit of salt (no oil) for a few minutes until translucent but not brown.

  • Mash the beans in a large bowl. Add the carrot mixture, mustard, ketchup, tamari and oats.

  • Mix well, then shape the mixture into eight patties. You can make more, smaller patties, or fewer, larger ones. For the grill shape the patties thicker.

  • Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet and coat with cooking spray. Cook patties over medium heat for four to five minutes on each side, or until golden brown. I like mine a little charred for extra flavor or you can char them on the grill.
