Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and beaten egg to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

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

  4. 4

    Chill Patties

    Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

Cooking and Assembly

  1. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  2. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on a separate skillet or grill.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with your choice of cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, sliced pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
