Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans, canned and drained
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked
- 0.5 cup walnut pieces, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup oats, rolled
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they form a chunky paste.
Add the cooked quinoa, finely chopped walnuts, and rolled oats to the mashed beans and mix until combined.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to the bean mixture, and add smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, soy sauce, remaining olive oil, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything thoroughly, then stir in the bread crumbs until the mixture holds together but is not too dry.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape each into logs or patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sausages for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are browned and heated through.
Serve the vegetarian Brazilian sausages with your favorite sides or in a bun as a sandwich.
