Black bean burgers

I got this recipe from my colleague Laura Higgins about 4-5 months ago. Every time I met Laura she would ask me “Did you do the burgers or not?” And I always said “No”. Tomorrow eventually I can tell “Yes, I did it”. 🙂 I am going to use this as a proof of my today’s cooking. I know that Laura would be happy to see that I even put together a little manual for many other bean lovers. 🙂

Those burgers are unbelievably easy to do. As a healthy choice you can have them only with some salad instead of in a bun.

All needed ingredients: 2 Cans of Black beans, Mayo, Breadcrumbs, Ground Cumin, Dried Oregano, Cayenne Pepper, Fresh cilantro, Oil, Hamburger Buns

What do you need?

2 (14-ounce) cans black beans
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain dry bead crumbs
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 soft hamburger buns

Accompaniments: sour cream, salsa, lettuce

1. Open first can of black beans, rinse properly and drain

2. Put rinsed beans in bowl with - mayonnaise - bread crumbs - cumin - oregano - cayenne

3. Open the second can of black beans, rinse properly and drain.

finely as possible. If your hand doesn't hurt by chopping you better chop little more. :) — finely as possible. If your hand doesn't hurt by chopping you better chop little more. 🙂

9. Place them on a bun. You can add little bit of sour cream and salsa and add some lettuce.

And then have a big bite :o) I highly recommend only 1 burger per day. :o))) Thank to cayenne pepper they are little spicy. Cilantro as I have never tasted it in meal makes it so special :o) that you will definitely be cooking some more soon. — And then have a big bite 🙂 I highly recommend only 1 burger per day. 🙂 Thank to cayenne pepper they are little spicy.
