Black Bean Patty

Toppings

Harissa Comeback Sauce

Method

Preparing the Black Bean Patty

  1. 1

    Rinse and Mash the Beans

    Rinse the black beans under cold water and drain well. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and egg to the mashed beans. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.

Making the Harissa Comeback Sauce

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, harissa paste, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Burger
