2 tbsp peanut oil
27g
1/4 cup onion
40g
1 egg
50g
1/4 cup red pepper
36g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
55g
2 tbsp coriander leaves

420g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Finely grate 1/3 cup of carrots and set aside.
- Finely chop 1/4 cup of onion and 1/4 cup of red pepper.
- Mince 1 garlic clove.
- Finely chop 2 tbsp of coriander leaves.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the grated carrots, chopped onion, red pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Black Beans:
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the mashed black beans.
- Stir in the beaten egg, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix until well combined.
5. Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into equal parts and shape into patties. This recipe typically makes 4-6 patties, depending on the size.
6. Cook the Patties:
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
7. Serve:
- Assemble your black bean burgers on buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, and your preferred sauce or condiments.

Tips:

- Ensure you drain and rinse the black beans well to prevent the burger mixture from being too wet.

- Mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, with some chunks remaining for texture.

- Finely chop the carrots, onion, red pepper, garlic, and coriander leaves to help the ingredients bind together better.

- If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more bread crumbs until it reaches a consistency that holds together well.

- Refrigerate the formed patties for about 30 minutes before cooking to help them firm up and hold their shape.

- Cook the burgers on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice crust without burning.

- Experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor of your black bean burgers.

- Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
