Black Bean and Edamame Sliders

Black Bean and Edamame Sliders

Makes 12 sliders

30 minutes or fewer

Here’s the veg answer to Sloppy Joes—edamame lightens up a black bean mixture to keep these sliders from tasting too dense.
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 ½ cups cooked black beans, or 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, drained and minced
  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped cilantro
  • ¾ cup plus 1 Tbs. prepared fat-free barbecue sauce, divided
  • 1 ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 12 small whole-wheat dinner rolls, split like buns
  • 4 oz. reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 12 slices

1. Bring small pot of water to a boil. Add edamame, and cook 10 minutes. Drain.

2. Process garlic in food processor until minced. Add edamame, black beans, chipotle chile, cilantro, 1 Tbs. barbecue sauce, cumin, and salt. Process until mixture forms coarse paste.

3. Heat oil in saucepan over medium-low heat. Add edamame mixture, and heat until hot, stirring occasionally.

4. Spoon 1 Tbs. barbecue sauce onto each bottom bun. Top with bean mixture, cheese, and top buns.

Just made these. They were really good. I skipped the BBQ sauce (can't stand the flavor) and just used a little of the black bean liquid and some jalapeno hot sauce for moisture. Also, bonus tip... I didn't need to make so many sliders so I put the leftover mixture back in the processor for another spin and made a great bean dip! :)

Wow! These were excellent! Finally, a vegetarian sloppy joe alternative that isn't just tomato paste. Highly recommended and very quick to prepare.
