SO HOW'D IT GO?
Well, these didn't stay together very well (as per usual...for bean patties of mine..), but they tasted really great. We didn't care at all that they were quite fragile. I pureed the onion, added to the bowl, then pureed 1 cup of beans (home-cooked black bean mix-used 2 cups) at a time, then pureed one carrot. I wanted to use my mini food processor instead of the blender. I then added spices, and some homemade garlic bread crumbs. I ended up adding a lot more than 1/4 cup-probably like 1+ cup...but since mine were homemade..they were not really dry. I fried the first couple batches of these, and I'm going to bake the rest. Tasty!
I know that bean burger patties fall apart so easily! I discovered if you put the bean mixture in the freezer about 20 minutes before forming the patties it tends to help hold them together.
These were great! I folded in about 1/3 cup corn niblets into the mixture before forming into patties. I actually baked mine in the oven, and they turned out well. Sometimes I press these type of bean burger mixtures into a greased muffin tin and serve them with pineapple mango salsa.
These were SO good!!! I had run out of breadcrumbs so I used mashed up cheerios and wheat germ and it worked well. My one year old son even liked them! They did kind of fall apart a little bit toward the end of cooking, but i didn't mind :)
