Method

Blackbean Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

    In a medium bowl, mash the canned black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, and egg (if using) to the mashed black beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

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

Spicy Aioli

  1. 5

    Mix Aioli Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.

  2. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the aioli and adjust Sriracha or lemon juice as needed for desired spiciness and acidity.

Burger Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet after removing the patties.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread a generous amount of spicy aioli on the bottom bun, add a lettuce leaf, a black bean patty, a slice of tomato, and some onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the assembled burgers immediately with additional aioli on the side, if desired.
