Ingredients
- 1¼ cups raw unsalted walnuts
- 1 Tbs. chili powder
- 1 Tbs. smoked paprika
- 2 15 oz. cans black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup brown rice cooked
- ¼ cup barbeque sauce
- 5 whole-wheat sandwich buns optional for serving
- 5 slices large tomato optional for serving
- 5 leaves large lettuce optional for serving
- 5 slices onion optional for serving
- burger condiments ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, optional for serving
Instructions
- Using a food processor or a good blender, very finely chop the walnuts and spices together.
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans. I found a stand mixer works well for this step, but you can also use a fork.
- Stir the walnuts, rice and barbeque sauce into the black beans until well combined. Again, the stand mixer works great for this.
- Form five burgers from the mixture and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400° for about 30 minutes.
- You could also fry these in a skillet or griddle. Any leftover burgers can be frozen, if desired.
Notes
Notes:
If you don't have cooked rice already, get that going first.
Panko bread crumbs can be substituted for walnuts if you prefer
