Ingredients
- 1 can (540 ml) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 125 ml (½ cup) bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) chili powder
- 5 ml (1 tsp) ground cumin
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) ketchup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) canola oil
- 4 hamburger buns (plain or toasted)
Preparation
- Mash the black beans coarsely in a large bowl with a fork (or a potato masher).
- Add the onion, garlic, bread crumbs, egg, chili powder, cumin, ketchup, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix everything together until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using your hands, make 4 patties about the size of your hamburger buns.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned. Tip: If all four patties can’t fit into the pan at once, cook them in 2 batches.
- Serve in hamburger buns with your choice of toppings (mustard, ketchup, relish, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc.).
