INGREDIENTS
1/4 oz minced garlic
2 oz salt-free salsa
1/2 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
2 Tbsp flax seeds, ground
16 oz cooked black beans
3 oz cooked brown rice
2 oz quick-cooking oats
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz onion, in 1" chunks
3 oz green pepper, in 1" chunks
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a small straight-sided bowl, weigh minced garlic and salsa. Remove from scale and add liquid smoke and ground flax seeds. Stir well.
In a medium straight-sided bowl, weigh cooked brown rice and quick oats. Remove from scale and add chili powder, ground cumin, and salt. Stir well.
Put chunks of onion and green pepper in a food processor and pulse until they are minced fine. Add black beans and continue to pulse until they are chopped well but not pureed.
Transfer vegetable-bean mixture to a large wide bowl. Add salsa mixture and knead well with your hands. Add rice mixture and knead again. Shape into 5 oz patties. Put on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn over and bake for 15 minutes longer. Transfer to cooling rack
