Black Bean Burgers

Makes 4 burgers

• 120 grams dry black beans 
• 65 grams basmati rice + 3/4 cup water
• 1 large carrot
• 1/2 red onion
• 2 Tbsp flaxmeal
• 2 Tbsp oat flour*
• 1 Tbsp paprika
• 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp salt

Add black beans and some water in an instant pot and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. When done, strain and rinse the beans and set aside. 

Add rice and 3/4 cup water to the instant pot and cook using the rice button (12 minutes, low pressure). When done, release steam and remove lid.

Meanwhile, grate or pulse in a food processor the carrot and onion. Transfer veggies to the pot with the rice. Add in all remaining ingredients, including the cooked black beans. Using a potato masher, mash the mixture until about 2/3rds of the beans have been mashed. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, form mixture into equal sized patties that are about 3/4ths of an inch thick. Bake for 30 minutes, flip, then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.

*to make oat flour, blend oats in a blender or food processor until ground.
