Black Bean Burgers From:

Listen to Call 6/19/13 Call Betty moderated the call. Growing concerns regarding "Modified wheat found in Oregon" was the article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that opened our discussion. Farmers are beginning to fight back with law suits since the GMO wheat is invading their wheat fields. Monte read us an article giving a little background as to why Monsanto is in such a hurry to accomplish their agenda.

Recipe for Black Bean Burgers by Katelin Mae and found on Forks over Knives website was presented.
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 15oz. can black beans
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup corn
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 Tbls. salsa

Drain black beans (I would also rinse). Pour beans into bowl and mash using potato masher, fork or your hands. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Sweat the onion in a saute pan using no oil. When onions are translucent add corn and spices. Cook for a few more minutes. Add cornmeal, salsa, veggies, and rice to the bean bowl. Mix everything together so there is an even consistency. Form into patties about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Place patties on parchment lined pan and bake 15 minutes @ 350 degrees. Flip the patties and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve between two leaves of romaine lettuce with tomato and onion.
