Grilled Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients

  • -1/2 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • -1 Tbsp. chopped garlic
  • -2 (15-oz.) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
  • -2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
  • -2 tsp. parsley, chopped
  • -1 egg
  • -1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • -1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • -Salt and fresh ground pepper
  • -Hamburger rolls
  • -Blue cheese, optional
  • -Lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, etc.

Instructions

  1. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-low heat.
  2. In a food processor, pulse onion and garlic until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, cilantro, parsley, egg and red pepper flakes, and pulse to combine.
  3. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, and add the remaining can of black beans and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix until well combined.
  4. Form mixture into round patties. Place on hot oiled grill* over medium-low heat and cook about 6 minutes a side or until heated through. Add blue cheese, if using, and let heat through. Toast hamburger buns on a grill. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato and ketchup, if desired. Cover the burgers with the top of the bun and serve.
  5. *Since bean burgers have a tendency to fall apart, consider using a pan on top of the grill. This will make it easier to flip the burgers and keep them together.
