Ingredients

coconut oil, for cooking
1 cup finely diced sweet yellow onion
4 large cloves garlic
1 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 1/2 cup cooked black beans
1 cup hemp seeds
10 sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water until soft, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoon paprika powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoon miso paste
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/3 cup quinoa flakes

Directions

Heat 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until onion begins to turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the bell pepper, and continue to cook until the vegetables have softened — about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the black beans, hemp seeds, sun-dried tomatoes, sea salt, paprika, chipotle, and cayenne. Cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the miso paste into the mixture. Use the back of a fork to mix the beans and miso together, partially mashing the beans. Mix in the cooked brown rice and quinoa flakes. When cool enough to handle, use clean hands to knead the mixture together to form a dense base. Place in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes to allow quinoa flakes to swell and absorb the excess moisture.
Form the mixture into 6-8 patties, squeezing and packing the mixture together. (If necessary, a spoonful or 2 of water may be added to make the patties stick together easier.) Warm a small amount of coconut oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned.
