Nutritious and Incredibly Filling
It is impossible to eat more than one of these babies. The following recipe makes four servings that are high in protein, low in fat and yummy.
Contents at a Glance
The Ingredients
2 jalapenos diced1 small onion diced
1 19 oz can of black beans, lightly rinsed
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 egg
Some kitchen stuff you might need
The Directions
Coarsely chop black beans with food processor (a pastry blender works in a pinch too). It should be chunky, not mushy. Add onions, egg and jalapenos.In small bowl, mix bread crumbs with garlic powder and salt. Add to bean mixture and blend with spoon.
Shape mixture into four paddies. Apply to grill with your favorite barbecue sauce. I use an indoor grill with a preset temperature for ten minutes, turning after five.
Can also be done in pan on stove. I have not attempted cooking these on an outdoor grill as I'm not sure how well they would stay formed.

Tip:
Adding the egg is important. It keeps everything from falling apart when cooking.
