Are you looking for more plant-based protein ideas? Here are my black-eyed pea vegan burger patties!
Even if you are not vegan or vegetarian, science shows there are health benefits to adding more fiber-rich prebiotic food and opting for more plants. Try these for your next meatless monday!
Black Eyed Peas may not be on your radar but they are a great source of vegan plant-based protein (13 g in 1 cup) and prebiotic fiber (1 cup has 11g!).
They also cook up pretty fast and do not require overnight soaking. They are also great source of minerals like folate & iron.
You could alternatively use any bean of your choice a plant-based protein.
I batch cooked these patties & froze them to eat as a quick meal on a busy day.
Method (made 6 patties- you could double this)
- Cook rinsed black eyed peas on bean chili mode in Instapot (batch cook 1 lb of dry beans with enough water to cover 1 inch above. Cook in 1/2 tspsalt & 1 tsp turmeric. Hint: if making a different day, just place in the refrigerator : )
- Measure 2 cups cooked beans & add to food processor along with all below ingredients . You can use the extra peas to make more burgers or turn into a curry! See how here: https://www.radianthealthdallas.com/blog/creamy-dairy-free-black-eyed-peas-curry-14035.html
- 2 inches ginger roughly chopped (see pics)
- 1 jalapeño (optional) 🔥
- 1/2 cup corn flour
- 2 garlic cloves
- 6 stems fresh cilantro
- 1/2 tsp salt, to taste
- Grind all the ingredients in the food processor just until course but not completely puréed.
- Make patties in the palm of your hand (see pic) & put in plate
- Heat stainless steel pan on medium heat. Add 1 tsp avocado oil for 3 patties at a time (see pic)
- Cook on each side until brown.
- Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, onion as a burger or as kabobs with your favorite veggies as a side.
Most beans and vegetables are great sources of prebiotic fiber. What is your favorite source?
