Smoky Black Bean BBQ Burgers

Hearty and flavorful plant-based barbecue burgers
Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown rice cooked
  • 1 cup cooked or canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup kale chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweet or yellow onion minced
  • 1/2 cup corn cooked
  • 1/4 cup potato cooked and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. cornmeal
  • 1 Tbsp. BBQ Sauce
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop the kale and place in a bowl with 1 Tbsp. of water and cook in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Carefully remove bowl and drain liquid.
  • Place the rice, beans, onion, potato, cornmeal, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, liquid smoke, and salt into a food processor. Pulse a few times until chunky. Add the kale along with the corn and pulse a few more times. Don’t over-pulse or the mixture will get too soft.
  • Remove the mixture into a bowl, and put it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes; an hour is best. Making it the day before and letting it sit overnight is optimal. This helps all the flavors marinate and leads to a sturdier burger.
  • To cook, shape the mixture into patties approximately 1/3 cup each. Lightly oil the pan. Place the patties in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat for 10 minutes on each side. Pans and stovetops vary, so begin to check the patties at 6 minutes. If you try to slide your spatula under a patty and it won’t give, then it isn’t ready and needs to cook longer. You may also bake the patties on a parchment-lined cookie sheet at 375 for about 20 to 25 minutes on each side.
