Black-Eyed Peas Spinach Burgers (DF)

 

Ingredients:

1 can black-eyed peas, drained 
1 small onion, chopped
1 small red pepper, chopped

1 can spinach, drained

1 small stalk celery, chopped

2 Tbsp minced jar garlic

1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder
  1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp oregano

1 Tbsp dried cilantro

• 1 Tbsp ground Flaxseed
• 2 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder
•  1 cup Quaker old fashioned oats 

Directions:

In a bowl, mash the beans until desired texture.  I keep a lot of the beans whole.  Mix in all the rest of the ingredients.

 Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Form into patties and cook.  I cook them on my   Cuisinart 5-in-1 Griddler for about 20 minutes.  If you want to bake them in the oven, bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
