2 - 3 carrots, depending on size
1 medium red onion
Bunch of cilantro (depending on taste)
Roasted red pepper
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cans Black beans
2 Tablespoons potato starch
1 teaspoon vegan mayonnaise
1-2 tablespoons of vegetable or sunflower oil
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Food processor
Flat griddle - oil and preheat
Ice cream scoop (optional)
1-2 tablespoons of vegetable or sunflower oil
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Food processorFlat griddle - oil and preheat
Ice cream scoop (optional)
Preparation
Rinse the beans well leaving none of the liquid from the can on the beans
Shred the carrots with the top shredding blade of the food processor.
Remove the shredding blade and put in the large S-shaped blade on the bottom of
the food processor
Add the carrots back into the food processor. Rinse and add the cilantro, red peppers, onion , potato starch, lime juice and mayonnaise. Pulse several times - you DON'T want a puree, so make sure that you don't use the 'on' button on the food processor, it must be pulsed with short quick pulses. Do this about 10 or 12 times.
Then add the black beans. Pulse again until everything is mixed together, but it shouldn't be a smooth consistency. It should be the consistency of chopped meat.
Taste it. If it needs salt and/or pepper, add it now. If you think it needs more cilantro or lime, add it now.
The griddle and the oil should be very hot, but not smokey.
I use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the bean mixture to keep everything a uniform size, but it's not necessary. You can use a regular cooking spoon.
Scoop you the bean mixture, one scoop at a time
and add them gently to the hot griddle leaving some space between each one.
After you've got them all on the griddle, put oil on the back side of a spatula and gently tap them down until they look like a burger. Don't push them down, but gently tap them with the oiled side of the spatula. Cook for about 5 - 6 minutes on each side. You don't want them too soft on the inside.

Serve topped with guacamole and/or hot sauce or whatever topping you feel like creating. Serve them with or without buns (yes, there are glutton free hamburger buns). Serve them on top of greens. BE CREATIVE and have fun!!!
