Baja Black Bean Burgers
Recipe: (Makes 4-5 burgers) Print it Here
3 Cups Black Beans (or 2 15oz cans, rinsed)
2 Cups Mushrooms
½ Medium Onion
¼ Cup Cilantro Stalks (or the stems from one bunch, reserve the leaves)
1 Clove Garlic
2 tsp. Oil
½ Bell Pepper (I used ¼ Red and ¼ Green), diced
½ tsp. Cinnamon
1 ½ tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Coriander
1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
1 Green Onion, slivered
¾ Cup Fresh Corn (or 1 cob)
6 Tbsp.Ground Flax
½ Cup Gluten Free Flour (or flour of choice. I used this mix )
Sea Salt to taste
Serve with: Salsa, Chunky Guacamole (recipe below), Creamy Lime Coleslaw (recipe below), Buns or lettuce wraps, hot sauce.
Procedure:
1.Begin by pureeing the mushrooms, onion,cilantro stalks, and garlic until it makes a fine pate-like consistency.
2. Heat a frying pan to medium, and add 2 tsp. of oil. Add the mushroom mix, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika. Cook for about five minutes or until the mushrooms begin to cook. Add the diced peppers and cook for another minute or two until they begin to soften.
3. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl, and mix in the beans, green onion, fresh corn, and flax meal. Taste and adjust for seasoning (if you are using canned beans you will need less salt). Slowly stir in the flour, you may need a little less or more depending on your mix.
4. Heat a heavy frying pan to medium and add a touch of oil. Shape the burger mix into about 4-5 patties. Once the oil is hot, place two patties in the pan and fry for about 5 minutes or until they begin to brown. Flip the burgers and then place in a 190 C (375) F oven for about 10 minutes.
5. Serve on a wholegrain bun and top with guacamole, creamy lime slaw, and salsa. If you want a gluten free -bread free option, serve the patty on a bed of creamy lime coleslaw.
Chunky Guacamole
2 Avocados
2 Cloves Garlic, grated
2 Tbsp. Lime
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
Procedure:
Mash all together with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Creamy Lime Coleslaw
Salad:
1 Cup Shredded Kale
1 Cup Chopped Cilantro Leaves (reserved from the burgers)
2 Cups Shredded Savoy Cabbage
1 Green Onion, Slivered
Dressing:
½ Cup Cashews, soaked overnight or for at least four hours
½ Cup Water
1 Tbsp. Lime Juice
½ tsp. Sea Salt
Pepper to taste
Procedure:
1. Soak the cashews overnight, or for at least four hours. Once soaked drain them and rinse well.
2. Combine cashews in a blender along with the water, lime, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Puree until smooth.
3. Pour over chopped veggies, mixing well.

Hi Sophie, thank you for your amazing burger recipe. The moment I saw the recipe I wanted to make them so bad. So, tonight, I made the burgers with the coleslaw and chunky guacamole, and my family LOVED them! They were so appreciative of such a 'fun' and tasty dinner. Will definitely be making them again, especially as I have a huge sack of dried black beans that need using up. Your blog is so beautiful and inspiring. I look forward to your next post. 🙂
(I have tweeted a photo of the burgers if you would like to see: http://twitter.com/VeganFitnessCom/status/478942084989472768)

Just made these for dinner and my omni husband devoured them!!! I substituted pine nuts for the cashews, b/c my daughter is allergic, and it was AMAZING! Super creamy and smooth. You know a dish was good when you are thinking about leftovers right after you finished eating:)

This looks so flavoursome and delicious and the coleslaw looks amazing with the cashews rather than heavy mayonnaise!
