Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 100 grams Brown rice, cooked
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 60 milliliters BBQ sauce
- 15 milliliters Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 buns Whole grain hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Add the cooked brown rice, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans.
Mix all ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold its shape when pressed together.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush each patty with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking and to enhance charring.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form and the patties are heated through.
If desired, during the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the grilled patty, tomato slices, and an additional drizzle of BBQ sauce, if desired.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
