Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g black beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 60 g rolled oats
- 60 g breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise or burger sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.
Finely chop the red onion, garlic cloves, and jalapeño pepper. Add them to the bowl with the mashed beans.
Add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
In a food processor or spice grinder, pulse the rolled oats until they are coarsely ground. Add the ground oats and breadcrumbs to the mixture, and stir to combine.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together well. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
Using your hands, divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise or burger sauce on the bottom bun (optional), then layering with lettuce, a spicy bean burger patty, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade spicy bean burgers!
