Description

Whether you're vegetarian or not, you'll love these meatless burgers made with black beans, fresh herbs, and zesty spices.

Ingredients

1/2 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
1 large egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more to taste
1/2 cup bread crumbs, or more as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

Directions

1 Pulse onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, egg, cilantro, parsley, red pepper flakes, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce; pulse to combine.
2 Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add remaining black beans and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined, adding up to 2 tablespoons bread crumbs if mixture seems too wet.
3 Divide mixture into 6 portions and form into patties.
4 Heat oil in a large grill pan over medium-low heat. Place patties on the hot pan and cook until heated through, about 6 minutes a side.
