Black Bean Sliders w/ Spicy Mango Sauce and Guacamole

Black Bean Sliders with Spicy Mango Sauce and Guacamole

Ingredients:

  • 12-15 half Blues Buns for sliders or 6-8 regular sized Blues Buns

Sliders

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, small dice
  • 1 14-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small carrot, finely diced or shredded (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup water

Spicy Mango Sauce

  • 1 mango, peeled and cut
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, whole or sliced
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar, but any kind will do)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Guacamole

  • 3 ripe Haas avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup salsa fresca
  • sea salt and black pepper

Preparation

Sliders

  1. In a large skillet, sauté onions in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat until tender and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, use a large spoon or your hands to mash together beans, carrots, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, chili powder, salt, cilantro, ¼ cup water, and caramelized onions. If mixture is too dry to hold together, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
  3. Using your hands, form mini burger patties that match the size of your buns or mini slider rolls.
  4. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium/high heat and fry patties. Let each patty get browned and slightly crisp on each side before flipping (about 3 minutes on each side). Add more olive oil to skillet as you continue to fry more patties.

Spicy Mango Sauce

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Guacamole

  1. In a large bowl, mash together the avocado and lime juice, then fold in the salsa fresca.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. Slice each roll or bun in half and layer a couple teaspoons of mango sauce, 1 black bean slider, and about a tablespoon of guacamole. If you have extra mango sauce, you can use it as a dip for your fries!

Tom's Power PB and Marmelade

Recipe for the best sandwich in the world:
1. Get a toaster oven
2. Leave the drip tray in, fill it with boiling hot water.
3. Place 2 slices of DKB Power Seed in there.
4. Toast until *just* browned. The water steams one half instead of toasting it, which is quite nice.
5. Remove. Observe that the bread is now toasted on one side and soft and warm on the other.
6. Apply some organic, creamy peanut butter (I'd recommend Trader Joe's) to the toasted side of one slice.
7. Apply some King Jelly Orange Marmelade to the toasted side of the other slice.
8. Put It together and eat it, possibly with a nice glass of organic milk! Particularly enjoy the soft outside and just-crunchy inside. :)
9. Let me know if you like it or if you have any adaptations!

Elisa's Summer Seed Sandwich

This is a favorite sandwich that my wife Elisa makes. She's brilliant in the kitchen--a total foodie. But her sandwiches found a power near-otherworldly when she began making them on Good Seed. The first time I tasted this sandwich, I was instantly surrounded by a choir of angels. The planets came into alignment, and the sun stood still for nearly 30 minutes. I swear to you, it was pretty much a holy moment.

  • Good Seed Bread
  • Mayonnaise (to taste)
  • Sweet Hot Mustard (to taste)
  • Creamy Goat Cheese
  • Sliced Avocado
  • Sliced Heirloom Tomato
  • Sliced English Cucumbers
  • Micro Greens
  • Arugula

Smothering Dave's

Smothering Daves are open faced sandwiches. The bite of the sharp cheddar contrasts the sweet of the onion and bread. The yolk of the egg marries all the flavors in each perfect bite! This is what I serve my family on Saturday mornings. And on a busy night, dinner. Enjoy!

  • 4 Slices DKB Blues
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Walla Walla Sweet Onion, thinly sliced in rings
  • 4 ounces Sharp CheddarSmothering
  • oil
  • salt
  • pepper

1. In a small frying pan, caramelize onion in oil with 1/2 t.. salt and a dash of pepper. Set aside.

2. Heat a pancake griddle to 350º. Melt enough butter to toast 4 slices DKB, and lay each slice in its own well-buttered area to brown. When toast is browned, flip each slice and top with a 1 ounce slice of cheese.

3. As cheese melts, and toast browns, melt more butter and fry 4 eggs to your liking (over medium is very nice with the toasted DKB!)

4. When eggs are done, build your Smothering Daves, on each plate, place:

  • 1 slice DKB toast, cheese side up
  • 1/4 onions
  • 1 egg on top, press with spatula or fork to pop the yolk and smother your Dave's toast!

5. Make again and again! You will love them!

Freakin' Fantastic Falafel

  • 1 Cup falafel mix (can be found in organic section of most grocery stores)
  • Two slices Dave's Good Seed bread
  • One Organic Tomato
  • 1 Organic Vidalia Onion
  • 1 Organic Cucumber
  • 1 Avocado
  • Coconut Oil
  • Alfalfa Sprouts (clover sprouts and onion sprouts optional)

Preparation -

Begin by soaking the 1 cup of falafel mix in with 1-1/4 cup water. Let sit for 15 minutes. While it is setting, prepare a skillet with about 1/2 inch of coconut oil to fry the falafel in. Best to heat on high.

When set, shape the falafel into patties equal size to the bread, about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully place into skillet (1 or two at a time, careful oil may jump out!) Reduce heat to medium. Flip when the bottom is golden brown and able to be flipped with a spatula. Be careful not to burn the patties. When both sides are a dark golden brown, the patty is ready.

Cut the tomato an onion into sandwich size slices. Cut the cucumber into long thin slices. Prepare the avocado the same way, about two-inch slices; do not make it too thick, or it will not hold on the sandwich. Place the falafel patty onto the bread, top with onions. tomatoes. avocado. cucumbers and LOTS of sprouts. The sprouts add the crunchy texture to the sandwich, and are very important. Place toothpicks in the sandwich to keep it together.

Killer Spelt French Toast

For about four slices of the killer spelt bread I use one egg, splash some rice milk, some vanilla extract, and whisk together (at times I'll put in two Tbps. of brown sugar). I dip the bread in the batter and cook it with either butter or some buttery spread (my better half cannot eat dairy). Once golden brown on both sides, I sprinkle cinnamon and drizzle some organic dark maple syrup.
