ingredients

For the Burgers
16 ounces black beans, rinsed
1 cup green bell peppers or 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons red onions, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon onion powder
¹⁄₄ cup minced cilantro
1 egg
³⁄₄ - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (enough to hold together)
salt and pepper
ciabatta rolls or toasted bun
For the Sauce
¹⁄₄ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon sriracha asian garlic sauce
2 teaspoons minced cilantro
Other Optional Toppings
avocado, slices
alfalfa sprout
monterey jack cheese or provolone cheese
tomatoes
lettuce

directions

For the sauce: Combine yogurt, Sriracha and cilantro. Set aside.
Add to a food processor the black beans, green peppers, garlic cloves, and red onion. Pulse until pureed. I prefer to leave a few semi-whole beans. Transfer to a medium sized bowl.
Add the egg and mix well.
Add to the bean mixture: the cumin, chili powder, onion powder, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Add the panko and mix to combine.
Preheat grill pan or skillet on medium-high heat.
Form patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to rolls and top with Sriracha sauce and toppings, if desired.

We were looking for a recipe for dinner and as sriracha addicts, we clicked on this one -- and loved this recipe! We had a large can of black beans and ended up doubling the recipe, which meant we needed to puree it a little longer to incorporate everything, so it was all smooth before forming patties. Lots of flavor, delicious. Put the extras in the freezer for quick lunches, an added bonus.
