When I was younger, my mom would make tuna patties and we would drool as those hot little fresh cakes would just fall apart. Now, making more conscious life choices, I love creating patties from all types of ingredients!
This one only takes 5 minutes!
-1 can vegan refried black beans
-1 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
-1 tbsp hemp protein powder (optional)
-quarter chopped onion
-1 tbsp salsa
-1 garlic clove
-spices (salt, paprika, cayenne, cumin)
-1 avocado
Put all ingredients in food processor and blend until thick, like a dough. If needed, add more bread crumbs or a tbsp of whole wheat flour. Your bean ball should be moist and kind of sticky.
Get your pan crazy hot with some olive oil, make a bean patty ball, slightly flatten with palm, and gently place in pan. You’ll want to get the patties crisp enough so you may want to consider covering that pan.
After a few minutes, turn over and adjust the heat a bit lower so it can cook through.
Place on top of fresh spinach, add some sliced campari tomatoes and you have a satisfying meal!
Heirloomed Tip-swap out panko for chickpea flour to go gluten free!
