Smoky Black Bean Patties With Pineapple Avocado Salsa
[Vegan]

To Make the Spicy Chipotle Sauce:

1. Combine all ingredients, except water, in a high speed blender and puree until smooth. Add water as necessary to thin to desired consistency.

To Make the Pineapple Avocado Salsa:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and toss to combine.

To Make the Millet Black Bean Patties:

1. Place black beans in a large mixing bowl and smash with a potato masher or fork. Add all the other ingredients and mix well to combine.
2. Take about ¼ cup of the mix and form it into a patty with your hands. Place on a plate and repeat with the remaining mixtures.
3. Heat 1-2 tbsp of oil in a pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Once hot, place 2-4 patties in the pan, spaced evenly (depending on pan size - do not over crowd the pan).
4. Cook 4-5 minutes each side until crispy on the outside and heated through. Adjust heat as necessary while cooking....every stove is different. You want it hot enough to crisp up the outside, but not too hot that it burns before the patty is heated through.
