Assembly

Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Bean Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Add Ingredients

    Stir in the breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.

  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 golden brown and crispy.

Crispy Onions

  1. 5

    Prepare the Onions

    Toss the thinly sliced onions with flour and salt until evenly coated.

  2. 6

    Fry the Onions

    In a deep pan, heat oil for frying over medium-high heat. Fry the coated onions in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Cumin Aioli

  1. 7

    Mix the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cumin, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Toast the Buns

    Toast the burger buns until lightly golden.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a layer of cumin aioli on the bottom bun, place the black bean patty on top, add crispy onions, avocado slices, and a handful of arugula. Cap with the top bun and serve.
