Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burger
This recipes is adapted from one in the great vegan cookbook, ExtraVeganZa by Laura Matthias (New Society Publishers, 2006)–hats off to Laura for scheming this one up…black beans, sweet potatoes, almond butter and olives? Smart, smart, smart.
2 cups cooked or canned black beans
1 cup sweet potato, grated
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup Sicilian olives, diced
1/4 cup whole spelt flour or other flour
2 tablespoons tamari
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1. Drain and rinse the black beans, place them in a medium bowl, and mash. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
2. Scoop 1/3 cup of batter at a time to form individual burger patties. Place a cast-iron frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Add a bit of oil to the pan and place a few burger patties in the oil. Fry each burger for 7 to 10 minutes on one side, then flip them over and fry an additional 5 to 7 minutes on the other side, or until the centers of the burgers are cooked through. If they brown too quickly, just turn the heat down a bit to allow them to cook more slowly.
3. Serve hot, on their own or on burger buns with condiments of your choice.
Makes 10 to 12 burgers.

+ add your ownThe mushroom and black bean veggie burger sounds great, will have to give it a try! Thanks!
Good ideas on different combinations. Would have been nice to know protein content of the various burgers. My doctor worries I am not getting enough protein & is not very supportive of my veganist choice.
