Ingredients

• 400 grams canned black beans
• 0.5 red onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 0.5 red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans using a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down but still a bit chunky.

Step 3

Finely chop half a red onion, mince two garlic cloves, and dice half a red bell pepper. Add these to the mashed black beans.

Step 4

Chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl along with 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 5

Add 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs to the mixture, helping it to bind together.

Step 6

Crack an egg into the mixture, and stir until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture holds together well.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Step 10

Serve the black bean patties immediately on buns with your favorite toppings, or enjoy them on their own with a side salad.
