Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Sliced tomato
- 1 as needed Condiments of your choice (e.g., vegan mayo, mustard, or ketchup)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.
Add the cooked brown rice, diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, celery, minced garlic, Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, breadcrumbs, and the prepared flax egg to the bowl with the black beans. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the 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 skillet or oven, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cooked veggie patty, a slice of tomato, and any desired condiments. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Creole Veggie Burgers!
