INGREDIENTS
- Hamburger Bun (#453)
- 16 oz can black beans, drained & dried
- ½ red bell pepper, roughly diced
- ½ onion, roughly diced
- 3 fresh garlic cloves
- ½ cup corn kernels
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- Oil (vegetable or olive)
- ½ fresh avocado
- Lettuce, tomato
PREPARATION
-
In a food processor, add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, corn and cilantro. Pulse to finely chop. Transfer to a sauté pan and cook in 1 tbsp of oil until onions are translucent (medium heat, about 3 to 4 minutes) and set aside. Add black beans, egg, spices, Worcestershire sauce and breadcrumbs to the food processor. Pulse to combine, but leave little chunks of the beans.
-
In a medium bowl, add bean mixture and cooked vegetable mixture and fold in with spatula. Form into about 4 equal size patties and coat with some of the breadcrumbs after formed. In a medium size pan, sauté the patties in the oil until golden brown on each side. Place in an oven at 350°F for about 7 or 8 minutes to heat thoroughly. Let rest for a minute. Assemble with slices of avocado (make sure to sprinkle with lemon juice) lettuce and tomato for final sandwich.
