SUNNY'S SIZZLING SUMMER BURGER

• Place the patties on a tray in one layer. Mix the salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and onion powders and paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle on both sides of the patties and rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Add the patties to the grill and cook to desired doneness, flipping once.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the cheese sauce and sriracha seasoning in a small saucepot. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fully combined and hot.
• Lay down some lettuce leaves on the bottom buns, then top with the patties, onion slices, fried jalapenos and finally the cheese sauce. Top with the top buns and serve.

SIMPLE SUNNY BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet with a little olive oil on a paper towel. Chop the sunflower seeds in a food processor or with a hand chopper. Mash the beans in the food processor or with a potato masher and mix with the sunflower seeds. Mix in the remaining ingredients and form into six patties. Place the patties on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, until you can pick up each patty and compress it firmly in your hands to re-form the burger. Return the patties to the baking sheet, bottom side up, and bake for another 10 minutes. Note: If desired, these may be done on a grill.

SUNNY'S BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Mash beans in large bowl or plastic bag, leaving a few chunks. Stir in taco seasoning, salt and pepper as desired. Stir in corn, oats and egg. Refrigerate mixture 10 minutes to hydrate the oats. 2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. When oil begins to swirl, scoop one-fourth of the bean mixture and drop onto pan, slightly smoothing it into a circle. Cook on one side until golden and a bit crisp, about 8 minutes; !ip and cook on the other side 8 minutes more. 3. Spread bottom of each bun with thin layer of mayonnaise. Top with lettuce, patties, salsa and bun top.

THE BEST BLACK BEAN BURGER

Steps:

• Mash black beans in a bowl with a potato masher, leaving a few beans whole for texture; set aside.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add to black beans and season with basil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Fold beaten eggs into the bean mixture. Sprinkle in bread crumbs, adding a little at a time and fold in. Be careful not to overmix the bean mixture.
• Reheat the skillet that you cooked the onion mixture in. Scoop out 1 cup bean mixture and shape into a ball. Set the ball into the hot skillet and gently flatten to form a burger.
• Cook until firm and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bean mixture. You might need to add more oil.

SIMPLE BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
• Place a paper towel in bowl and put rinsed beans inside (this is important dry beans help this stick together).
• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans. (I use my grater when this is not an option).
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, black pepper, and cumin.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into 4-8 patties depending your size preference for me 1/2 a can of beans makes 4 small sized patties. I prefer the baked version.
• If baking, place patties on lightly prepped baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
• If frying lightly coat pan with oil and fry on medium low heat until browned and crispy.

BLACK BEAN BURGER WITH AN EGG ON TOP

Steps:

• Put beans in a colander set over a bowl and drain well. (Reserve juices for another purpose or discard.) Pat the beans dry with paper towels, then mash them a bit with a wooden spoon or potato masher, but leave them chunky.
• Transfer beans to a large bowl with the rice and toss together. Add chopped cilantro, serrano chile, scallions, chipotle powder, cumin and pinch of cayenne, to taste. Season generously with salt and mix well to incorporate.
• Add the egg to the cornstarch solution and beat together, then drizzle it all over the bean mixture and mix well to distribute.
• Form mixture into six thick patties of equal size. Each patty should weigh about 4 1/2 ounces. Place patties on a baking sheet and place in freezer for 10 minutes to firm. (For a firmer mixture, prepare a day in advance of cooking and refrigerate.)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add 1/2-inch oil to a heavy skillet over medium heat. Dust patties lightly on both sides with fine cornmeal. (It's OK if they are slightly frozen.) When oil is shimmering, slip the patties into the pan; work in batches to avoid crowding, or use two pans. Fry the burgers gently, about 3 minutes per side until nicely browned, adjusting heat as necessary. Transfer burgers to a baking sheet and let them crisp further for about 20 minutes in the oven (or let them cool and reheat later).
• Meanwhile, fry the eggs, if using. Put a sunny-side-up egg on top of each warm burger, and serve on buns or warm plates with lettuce and condiments, if using. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
