Cajun Blackbean Burgers

So the other night, I was chilling out, sipping on some kava tea, when all of the sudden inspiration struck: I could make my own veggie burgers!!!! Anyways, this idea resulted in hours slaving in front of a hot stove (actually it was only 30 minutes) and I concocted this prototype recipe, which was omnivore approved. I may later issue a revisal, but I thought this was pretty darn good for my first try!

Cajun Blackbean Burgers
1 can of black beans
1/8 cup chopped onions
1 1/2 cups veggie broth
1/2 cup tvp
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup instant oatmeal
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp liquid smoke
red pepper flakes (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
garlic (to taste)
salt (to taste)
non-stick spray

Combine tvp and rice with 1 and 1/2 cups of veggie broth and nuke for 6 minutes. While it's nuking, sautee onions in a large pan (I used my trusty wok) until they're flimsy, but not quite done, then pour beans in the pan and put on medium heat. Stir in the oatmeal, liquid smoke, and spices . When the tvp and rice are cooked, toss them in with everything else and stir. Then, slowly sprinkle the wheat flour in until you have a dough-like consistancy. Remove from heat and spoon "dough" into the container you used for the rice and TVP. Clean the pan you used to mix the ingredients, then spray it down with non-stick spray and put on medium-high heat. Form the "dough" into patties and fry for aprox. 5 minutes on each side (if you intend to put them in the fridge and nuke them as you need them) or 8 minutes each side if you're going to nosh right away. When reheating, 4 minutes seemed to work perfect with my microwave, but yours could be different. Eat it.
