Recipe - Chili Burgers

3 cup Cooked beans (I used a
generous cup of red chili
beans and cooked them for
about 2 hours)
1 cup Chopped onions
One half cup Grated carrots
4 Cloves garlic; minced
One half teaspoon Chili powder
1 teaspoon Ground cumin (I ground my
own from seed)
2 tablespoon Soy sauce
2 tablespoon Ketchup
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
One half cup Rolled oats
Salt and pepper to taste

A while back someone asked for burgers that hold their shape. I made these
for a Labor Day picnic and they were wonderful (and great leftover as
well). The recipe is from the newest Moosewood lowfat cookbook.

saute the onions, carrots, garlic, chili powder and cumin in a pan prepared
with olive oil spray. Mash beans and add vegetables and seasonings and oats
and mix well. Add salt and pepper if desired. With slightly wet hands form
into 34 inch patties and cook in a sprayed skillet about 7 min on a side.
(I used a heavy castiron skillet that worked wellyou could bake them,
too) Recipe says it makes six, but I got seven. I served them with whole
wheat tortillas, homemade salsa, potato salad, corn on the cob, and
peachblueberry cobbler. Everyone raved!
