These Black Bean Burgers with full-bodied flavor are a great option for meatless Mondays. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 stalk celery, chopped |
1 onion, finely chopped |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1 tablespoon cumin |
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil; grease lightly. 2. Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute longer. 3. Pour beans into a large bowl and use a fork or potato masher to mash into a thick paste. Scrape vegetables from skillet into bowl. Stir in egg, cumin and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Use your fingers to form into 4 patties (do not overmix). Place patties on baking sheet and bake until firm and set, about 10 minutes on each side. Serve on whole-grain buns with lettuce, tomato and sliced red onion, if desired. |
