Ingredients
•
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
•
1 1/2 teaspoons grapeseed oil, or as needed
•
1 medium shallot, chopped
•
1/2 medium green pepper, chopped
•
4 cloves garlic, minced
•
3 sprigs fresh basil, chopped
•
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
•
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
•
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
2 large eggs, beaten
•
1 cup bread crumbs
Directions
1
Mash black beans in a bowl with a potato masher, leaving a few beans whole for texture; set aside.
2
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add to black beans and season with basil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Fold beaten eggs into the bean mixture. Sprinkle in bread crumbs, adding a little at a time and fold in. Be careful not to overmix the bean mixture.
4
Reheat the skillet that you cooked the onion mixture in. Scoop out 1 cup bean mixture and shape into a ball. Set the ball into the hot skillet and gently flatten to form a burger.
5
Cook until firm and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bean mixture. You might need to add more oil.
