Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cans | Black beans |
| 1 | Sweet onion |
| 2/3 | Garlic clove |
| 1 | Sweet basil |
| 1 | Dried oregano |
| 1 | Ground cumin |
| 1 | Egg |

Instructions:
-
Mash Black Beans: Begin by draining and rinsing the black beans, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the beans until they form a coarse paste-like consistency.
-
-
Mix Ingredients: Finely chop the sweet onion and mince the garlic clove. Add them to the mashed beans along with the sweet basil, dried oregano, ground cumin, and one egg. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
-
Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 to 8 equal portions, depending on your preferred burger size. With clean hands, shape each portion into a round patty, ensuring they hold together firmly.
-
Grill Patties: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the black bean patties on the grill and cook for several minutes on each side until they are nicely charred and heated through.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments, such as mint salsa or a dollop of tangy ketchup. These burgers also pair wonderfully with a variety of sauces or spreads.
Tips:
- For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in some breadcrumbs or rolled oats into the bean mixture before shaping the patties.
- If grilling outdoors isn’t an option, you can also cook these burgers on a stovetop grill pan or in a skillet over medium heat.
- Customize your burgers by adding toppings like avocado slices, lettuce, tomato, or pickles for an extra burst of freshness.
- Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer-term storage.
