Dense, smoky, and it actually holds together on the grill. Not a sad veggie burger. The problem with most black bean burgers is they fall apart. The solution is simple: chill the patties before cookin

Ingredients  

  • 2 cans black beans (drained
  • rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons diced onion
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Mash the black beans with a fork — leave some chunks for texture. Mix in breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, and all spices. Form into 4 patties. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (1 hour is better). Cook on a greased grill or in an oiled skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side. Don't press down — that breaks them. Flip carefully with a wide spatula.
