Filling, delicious and topped with crisp veggies and aromatic herbs.
Ingredients
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed
2 garlic cloves
1 egg
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp chipotle chili pepper powder
1/2 tsp salt
350-g block extra-firm tofu
1 tbsp canola oil
4 gluten-free hamburger buns, toasted
mini cucumbers, sliced
avocados, sliced
cilantro sprigs
Instructions
WHIRL black beans with garlic cloves, egg, oats, ketchup, chipotle chili powder and salt in a food processor until smooth. Scrape into a large bowl.
PAT dry extra-firm tofu with paper towels. Squeeze gently to drain excess liquid. Crumble into coarse pieces and stir into black bean mixture. Divide mixture into 4 portions. Form into 1-in.-thick patties.
HEAT canola oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add patties. Cook until golden brown, about 5 min per side. Serve on hamburger buns and top with cucumbers, avocados, and cilantro.
Shopping tip
Look for chipotle chili powder in the spice aisle of any supermarket, or substitute regular chili powder.
