    Black bean sliders recipe

    Vegetarian Black Bean Patty Sliders Recipe

    Up first are these delightful sliders. Our perfectly rounded little treats are the epitome of “good things come in small packages”.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp canola oil, divided
    • ½ medium onion, chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 medium chipotle pepper, seeded & minced
    • ¾ tsp ground cumin
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 cup cooked brown rice
    • 1½ tsp fresh lime juice
    • 3 tbsp breadcrumbs
    • 3 tbsp minced fresh coriander
    • 8 whole wheat burger buns, but in half 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced

    Sun dried tomato Sauce:

    • 2 cups sundried tomatoes & the oil from the jar,
    • 3 cloves garlic
    • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    • ⅛ tsp salt

    Directions

    1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft. Add garlic, chipotle pepper, cumin, salt and pepper. Sauté for additional 2 minutes.
    2. Scrape the mixture into the food processor. Add cooked black beans, quinoa and lime juice. Pulse until the beans are chopped, but not pureed.
    3. Scrape the black bean mixture into a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and the coriander. Stir the mixture until combined.
    4. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about 1/4 cup each) and form into patties. If the mixture is too moist to form patties, add more breadcrumbs.
    5. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap and cover with additional plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
    6. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet (preferably not nonstick, so a good crust can form) set over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3 minutes per side. If the skillet is not large enough to fit all of the patties, cook them in two batches.
    7. For the sauce, in a bowl of a food processor, combine the chopped sundried tomatoes, garlic, yogurt, olive oil, pepper and salt. Puree until smooth.
