How to Make Anasazi Bean Veggie Burgers

  1. Cook 1 (15-ounce) can of Anasazi beans in 2 cups of water for approximately 1 hour, until soft but not mushy.
  2. Drain the beans and let them cool completely.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Sauté 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 bell pepper (chopped), and 1/2 cup chopped carrot until softened, about 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon chili powder or curry powder (optional).
  5. Allow the vegetables to cool completely.
  6. Process the cooled beans in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Do not puree.
  7. Remove the beans and repeat step 6 with the cooled vegetables.
  8. Combine the processed beans and vegetables in a large bowl. Season generously with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Add 1 large egg and gently mix. Gradually add 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, mixing until the mixture holds together like pie dough.
  10. If the mixture is too dry, add up to 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  11. Form the mixture into 4 large or 6 medium-sized patties.
  12. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cold skillet over medium heat.
  13. Sauté the patties for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  14. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese. Transfer the skillet to a 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  15. Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings (e.g., mayonnaise).
