Here's What's Popping in I Kitchen

                      

Easy Healthy Foods are always on my mind! Being a single mommy of 3..ages 6 and under along with everything else going on means time is of the essence ALWAYS. I really like black beans and I used to get a great black bean burger from the heath-food store, but once I started getting back on point with my foods I read the back of the box and realized it not only had eggs but milk as well :(. So I decided to make my own and sooooooooooooooooooooo Glad I did because these are a HIT in a meh yard ( in my best Jamaican accent..hehehe)! I got some of the recipe from a a vegan website but really free styled most of it. 

Okay here's the recipe for InI Vegan Black Bean Burgers :)

                    ********** Ingredients**********

* Oil ( I use Safflower )

* Sea Salt and Cayenne Pepper

* 1 Can of black beans ( sidebar: I don't like beans in a can, I try not to eat anything in a can but had no time to soak the black beans over night sooooooo can beans is what it was)

* 1/2 Cup of Rolled Oats

* 2 Slices of Chopped up Wheat Bread... I used All Natural (that's the name of the brand) Wheat with grains 

* Red and Green Peppers, Garlic, Tyme, and Scallions Chopped Up ( Use amount that is best for you )

                       ************ Prep************

* Drain Beans out of the can and put in large bowl. Use fork and mash beans until they are smooth with a bit of texture then add sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste

* Add oil to fry pan and saute the chopped onions, peppers, tyme, scallions, and garlic for about 5 min

* Once sauteed add to black bean mixture and mix in, then add the chopped bread and oats and mix some more

* The mixture should be semi firm and might be a bit sticky

* Shape mixture into patties and fry

       ****Mixture Makes About 10 - 12 Burgers****
