Black Bean Burgers

I've expressed before that one of my favorite things are burgers, so naturally, I've tried experiments with all sorts of burgers. Different meats, toppings, buns- I love them all! I recently realized that I had never attempted a black bean burger, and after seeing a recipe in this month's Gourmet, I decided to give it a shot. All the carnivores loved them :)

Black Bean Burgers


3 cans black beans, rinsed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Kaiser rolls
Guacamole
Hummus

Mash beans and combine with garlic, onion, bread crumbs, oil, cilantro and spices and form into 6 patties. Cook on a nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes on each side. Top with homemade guacamole and hummus and serve with a side of oven roasted potatoes.

I would bet that your recipe is good. I am not fond of the premade black bean burgers in the frozen section.
I will give it a try.
