Ingredients:
1 hamburger bun (I'm going to experiment with alternatives) 1 T olive oil 2 t chopped garlic 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 t grated lime rind (I occasionally omit this) 3/4 t chili powder 1/2 t oregano 1/2 t salt 1 large egg (I occasionally omit this) Yield: 4 patties 1. Place bun in a food process, process until you have about 1 c crumbs, transfer to mixing bowl. 2. Put beans, oil and garlic in food processor, pulse until you get a thick paste. Scrape bean mixture into a bowl. 3. Stir in remaining ingredients. I often omit the egg and use lime rind when I have it. I think the egg makes it too wet to work with. 4. Heat 1 t olive oil in a pan, I've actually omitted this too, the recipe called for 2 T, my patties were swimming in oil, I didn't like it. They cook better if you just coat the pan lightly. To make the patties, depending on what ingredients you used and how wet your burger is, you can either use your hands or just spoon them into the pan and form them into patties in the pan which is what I do now. They cook fast, maybe 3 minutes a side or less. They brown and look like regular burgers. A suggested serving is a slice of tomato, avocado, grated asiago cheese, basil and salt. Other options are spicy mustard or hot sauce. I often serve mine naked (no bun) with hot sauce. Also experiment with the spices, I might try cayenne pepper next time. Enjoy!
