Grilled Black Bean Burgers

The minimal cooking in my kitchen continues. Deadlines after deadlines is squeezing out all the energy in me that I am left with none to take photos. Yes, you heard me right! Not for cooking, but for taking photos. Cooking is therapeutic and I need that time to take my mind off other things – its a way of relaxing for me! But I seem to have lost the patience lost the time which made it possible for me to take photos. Quick cooking with minimal ingredients that I can find in my kitchen are ruling the roost. That’s how this Burger comes out today in the post. Soaking some beans is a normal practice for me. I always soak some type of bean or the other – thanks to the protein source it provides. I use them in stews, with rice, soups, salads etc.

So after enjoying some salad for dinner the previous night, I had some leftover beans in the fridge. I also had some leftover rice from dinner and hence thought of making these Grilled Black beans. I had seen a similar recipe at Food Network like ages ago and thought I will use ingredients I have in the fridge. I bought some burger buns (topped with seeds) on the way back from work and made these yummy burgers for the night. It took only about 15 minutes totally with leftover ingredients.You can use Charcoal grill, gas or a stove top grill for making these. You can refrigerate these patties in the fridge for 2-3 days (provided you use fresh ingredients instead of leftovers like me!) or freeze them longer for say 1-2 months. There are no fixed rules for these – just use ingredients you have on hand or like.
