Ingredients
1 1⁄2 cups beans, black
1⁄2 cup sunflower seeds
1⁄2 cup rice, brown
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flour, whole wheat
1⁄2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash salt
1 cup onion, red
1⁄2 cup sweet potato
1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon oil
1 dash black pepper
Instructions
Place the beans into a medium-sized bowl. Using a potato masher or large spoon, mash beans to a coarse paste.
Add the remaining ingredients (except the bread crumbs and oil) and mix well. If mixture is dry, add a little more water until mixture binds together.
Shape the sticky bean mixture it into four large patties. Coat both sides of the patties in the bread crumbs and set aside.
Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and fry patties 1-2 minutes on each side until very crisp and brown.
