For the Black Bean Patties:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Saute onion and garlic in a small pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon water for 2-3 minutes, or until onions start to soften. Remove from heat.
3. Add all black bean patty ingredients (except toppings) to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a flat beater. If using a tilt-head mixer, and lock the head into place. Mix ingredients on low until fully combined (about 1 minute).
4. Form mixture into 12 balls and flatten into patties on 2 parchment paper lined baking sheets.
5. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes; patty will firm up as they cool.
6. Serve on whole grain bread, in a wrap or over a bed of greens with your favorite toppings.

2. Place cashews along with all other ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
3. Stop and scrape down sides as needed.
