Toppings and Assembly

Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

    In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the egg (or flax egg) to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Gradually mix in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together but is not too dry.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Shape the mixture into 2 equal patties, approximately 1 inch thick.

  5. 5

    Chill Patties

    Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 6

    Heat a Pan

    In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Cook Patties

    Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 8

    Prepare the Bun

    Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet after removing the patties.

  2. 9

    Layer Ingredients

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, sliced tomato, and your choice of ketchup and mustard.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade veggie burger!
