Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black-eyed peas (cooked, drained, and rinsed)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs (optional, for binding)
- 0.5 cups Red bell pepper (finely diced)
- 2 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- to taste Lettuce, tomato, and other burger toppings
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked black-eyed peas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few whole peas for texture.
Add the rolled oats, breadcrumbs (if using), diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and minced garlic to the bowl.
Season the mixture with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Using clean hands, divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into burger patties. If the mixture feels too wet, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs at a time until it holds together.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the burger patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with your favorite burger toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or vegan condiments.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Black Eyed Pea Burgers!
