After finishing 6 dozen veggie burgers John brought home from a freezer in a restaurant that he demolished  this June, I craved more veggie burgers. I don’t particularly like tofu burgers, so I tried to make some bean burgers and like how these came out.

• 2 TBSPs canola oil
• .5 cup diced onions
• 1.5 cups cooked and drained black beans, canned okay
• .5 cup grated carrots
• .5 cup bread crumbs*
•  .25 cup corn meal
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic
• 1 tsp cumin-ptional
• 4 TBSPs vegetable broth

1. Saute onions in 1 TBSP of the oil until carmelized.
2. Combine beans, carrots, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, beans, onions and spices in a large bowl.
3. Add the water and mix well with your hands, kind of smushing(sp?) together the beans with everything else
4. Make 10 burgers, aprroximately 3 TBSPs each.
5. Cook the burgers using the remaining oil in a cast iron frying pan on low/medium for about 5 minutes on each side.
6. Enjoy.

* You can make bread crumbs by toasting bread and then crumbling it with your      hands.
