Spicy Black Bean Burgers image

My husband and I love these. I serve them on homemade whole wheat buns, topped with some cilantro mayonnaise. I use cooked dried beans, but a can of beans works equally well. Using the dried beans I can make these for less than $0.25 each! Often I triple this recipe and freeze burgers for future use.

Categories     Black Beans

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon canola oil
2 cups black beans, cooked (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tablespoon chili paste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the red onion and garlic to the pan and saute until softened, about 8 minutes and then set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  • Combine beans, egg, oats, onion, mixture, chili paste, salt, pepper and cilantro and thoroughly mix and mash until pretty homogeneous, leaving a few whole beans.
  • Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
  • Refrigerate patties for half an hour. (This step is not completely necessary but I find it helps hold the burgers together while cooking.).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place burgers carefully into the oil, being careful not to crowd the pan.
  • After 4 minutes, flip and cook another 4 minutes. They should feel firm to the touch when finished.
  • Note: To freeze for later use, after shaping flash freeze and then wrap in plastic wrap. Place wrapped burgers into freezer bag and squeeze out excess air. To cook from frozen, simply heat frozen burgers over medium-high heat on the stove-top, cooking until done.

Overall, I thought these burgers were pretty good. They were easy to make and they had a nice flavor. I would definitely make them again.

These burgers were delicious, but they were a little dry. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of bean or by adding some vegetables.

I had a hard time keeping these burgers together. They kept falling apart when I tried to flip them. I think I'll try using a binder like eggs or breadcrumbs next time.

These burgers were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll try making them again with less chili powder next time.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the vegetables and beans, which made it even easier.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I loved these burgers! They were so hearty and satisfying, and the chipotle sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making these again.

These black bean burgers were a hit! They were so flavorful and moist, and the perfect amount of spicy. I served them on whole wheat buns with avocado, tomato, and lettuce, and they were delicious.
