This recipe was created as a result of Gnome over-cooking a ton of black beans (40 cups to be exact).  This is a bean burger made with home-made coconut flour (you can buy this a health food store) which helps to bind it into a patty shape.  Chilli peppers and whole black peppers give it a spicy kick.  I used coarsely ground rice flour, which has a similar consistency to semolina, to add a crunchy outer texture.

Take:

2 cups (400g) of cooked black beans

mash up partially and add the following (and mix well):

2 tbsp soya sauce

1 tbsp coconut oil

1/2 cup coconut flour

1 egg

1/2 small onion finely chopped

1tbsp dried orang peel, coarsely ground in blender

8-14 sliced bird chilli peppers (optional)

1 tbsp whole black peppers (optional)

salt to taste

Heat up a cast iron skillet with:  Put in a deep pan:

2 tbsp coconut oil

and shape into burger patties.  Dust with rice flour on both sides.  Brown burgers on skillet , cover and cook on low-medium heat for 10 minutes.

Makes 4 bean burgers (serves 2).  Serve with bread and a side salad.
