Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cup onion, minced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, frozen
  • 1 cup black beans, cooked
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons red chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg whites

Instruction

  • In a small pot over high heat, add 2 cups of water to the rice and bring to a boil. Cover and turn heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed. While the rice is cooking, add the oil to a skillet over high heat. Add the garlic, onions, red bell pepper and corn. Turn to medium heat and sauté until onions are soft and the corn is no longer frozen. In a large bowl, roughly mash the black beans with the back of a spoon. Mix in the rice and then the cooked vegetables. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and tomato paste then stir well. Divide the mixture roughly in half and blend one half with an immersion blender. Re-mix the two halves along with the breadcrumbs and egg white. Using your hands, make 8-10 patties. In a non-stick skillet, heat the burgers over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side.
