Bean & Oat Burgers

• 1 large onion, minced
• 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 2 tbsp tamari (can use soy sauce instead, but tamari is usually low sodium)
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats (I had regular rolled oats which I ran in the food processor for a minute)
• 1/2 cup pinto beans
• 1/2 cup red or black beans
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 4 cloves garlic, very finely chopped

1. Cooking spray
2. Soak for a few hours and then cook the pinto and red beans until tender.
3. Heat a skillet and saute the onion and garlic with a tiny bit of salt for a few minutes until translucent but not brown.
4. Add the carrot, chili powder, and cumin and cook a couple minutes or until carrot is tender. Turn off the heat and set aside.
5. Mash the beans in a large bowl. Add the carrot mixture, mustard, ketchup, tamari and oats.
6. Mix well and then shape the mixture into eight patties.
7. Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet and coat with cooking spray.
8. Cook patties over medium heat for four to five minutes on each side, or until golden brown. I like mine a little charred for extra flavor.
