Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

    Rinse and drain the black beans. In a large bowl, mash them with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the oats, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Using your hands, form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more oats.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly on a separate skillet or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, add the cooked black bean patty, followed by a slice of tomato. Drizzle with vegan aioli.

  3. 7

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
