A new spin on veggie burgers!

A boot camper passed this recipe on to me and it sounded like something some of you might enjoy 🙂 We all know that black beans and brown rice are two healthy food choices. How about creating delicious veggie burgers using both these high fiber, nutrient dense ingredients?

15 oz can black beans (250 g cooked from dry)
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 T taco or chili seasoning
4 T salsa

1. Mash beans. Add remaining ingredients.

2. Let sit in fridge for 30 minutes (sometimes over night to firm up which is recommended).

3. Form into 8 patties. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes a side.

Makes 4 (2 patty) servings, each with 159.7 calories, 0.8 g fat, 29.7 g carbs (6.8 g fiber), 8.6 g protein

Enjoy!

See you at boot camp 🙂
