Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans, canned (rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (or oat flour for gluten-free)
- 0.25 cup flaxseed meal
- 0.25 cup water (for flax egg)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise (for Smoky Paprika Aioli)
- 1.5 tsp smoked paprika (for Smoky Paprika Aioli)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for Smoky Paprika Aioli)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder (for Smoky Paprika Aioli)
- 1 tsp maple syrup (for Smoky Paprika Aioli)
Instructions
- Prepare Flax Egg & Sauté Aromatics: Whisk 0.25 cup flaxseed meal with 0.25 cup water; set aside for 5 minutes. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 0.5 cup diced yellow onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, then remove from heat.
- Mash Black Beans: In a large bowl, lightly mash the 15 oz rinsed and drained black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole for texture.
- Combine Patty Ingredients: Add the cooled cooked onion and garlic, thickened flax egg, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp cumin, 0.5 tsp coriander, 0.5 tsp sea salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix until just combined. For the aioli, whisk together 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise, 1.5 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp maple syrup in a separate bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of this aioli into the black bean mixture and mix thoroughly. Add more breadcrumbs if mixture is too wet.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Gently form them into patties, about 1 inch thick. Moisten hands with water if sticky. Chill patties for 15-30 minutes for best results and easier handling.
- Cook Patties & Char Corn: Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place patties in hot oil and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. While patties cook, char 1 cup corn kernels in a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3-5 minutes until slightly blackened.
Notes
For quicker prep, use a food processor for chopping onion and garlic. Air fry patties at 375(deg)F (190(deg)C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, for a crispy, hands-off method. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeno for a spicy kick, or an additional 0.5 tsp smoked paprika for more smoky flavor. Opt for low-sodium black beans and whole wheat breadcrumbs for a healthier dish.
