Starting off with Black Bean Patties

Here is my recipe for Black Bean patties. This recipe is vegan, but can be adapted to fit what ever you enjoy such as cheese, etc.

Black Bean Patties
1 can refried black beans or regular black beans                   3/4 c. minced red onion
1 c. minced fresh mushrooms (can be optional)                    3 tsp. minced garlic
1 small cooked sweet potato - chopped                                 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper                                                  1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup chia seeds                                                                   1 T. cornstarch
1 c. cooked quinoa                                                                  1/2 cup quinoa flour
1 T. Hungarian paprika                                                           1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper (optional)
3/4 c. Panko bread crumbs                                                      2 T. A1 sauce
1 minced jalapeno pepper (optional)                                       Olive or Coconut oil

* Mash the black beans if they are not the refried ones. I mince my onion, mushrooms, and garlic in a mini chopper. Place in a large bowl or in a food processor.
* Add all ingredients and mix well. If your food processor can't accommodate everything, mix what you can in the processor and mix the rest in by hand in a large bowl.  I also add a few teaspoons of oil as the processor is mixing. If you don't have quinoa flour, I think any flour will work.
* Heat large skillet to heat just below the middle on the stove (mine is a 4). Add a tablespoon or two of the oil of your choice. Use a 1  1/2 inch ice cream scooper (old fashioned kind) to scoop up a ball of dough. Release into pan and flatten with wet fingers until you have the shape and thickness you desire.
* Fry in the pan until both sides are crispy and browned. I think this takes about 5 minutes on each side.
* Add whatever you want on your patty, with or without a bun. Sometimes I just make a bed of chopped lettuce, place on patty on it, then top it with what I like and eat it without a bun.
