Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked black beans
• 1 Tbsp cooking oil
• 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped fine
• 1/2 cup red onion, chopped fine
• 1 large stalk celery, chopped fine
• 2 - 4 cloves garlic minced (depends how much you like garlic)
• 2 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup hummus
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 2 slices dry whole wheat bread crumbled into tiny pieces (hint: blender or food processor works great)

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a frying pan on medium low
2. Sauté garlic & onion in oil until soft
3. Add the celery & pepper, fry until softened
4. Mix in the herbs & spices and heat through
5. Mash or puree half the beans
6. Add reserved beans and all other ingredients EXCEPT hummus and liquid seasoning
7. Mix well by hand
8. Food Processor: process 1/2 the beans with all other ingredients except hummus and liquid seasoning, then mix in the remaining whole beans
9. Add enough of the hummus or liquid seasoning to moisten mixture fairly well
10. Mixture may seem a little sticky, but it's better than a bit dry, because they WILL dry out while cooking
11. Form 10 flat patties and cook on medium until brown, approx. 10 min per side
12. Fantastic with a little brown mustard, horseradish and sweet pickle

It's fine to substitute peppers for onion, or celery, in this black bean recipe, and I used only one clove of garlic. Grated carrots would be another possible substitution. I made bread crumbs in the food processor using dry crusts.

Savvy Veg Notes:

• Depending on the moisture in the beans, you may or may not need to add hummus or liquid to the mixture. A little sticky is ok, but the mixture should be firm enough to easily make into burgers.
• If you don't have hummus, just add a little tomato sauce or ketchup instead
• Sauté the celery and pepper also to shorten the cooking time, and reduce the moisture
• These are great on whole wheat burger buns with standard burger fixings - lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, mustard. We added avocado and cucumber too

Cooking Tip: If you're going to soak and cook beans, it's worth making extra, to freeze in small amounts for future meals. More bean cooking tips and directions

Q: Can the Vegan Black Bean Veggie Burgers be frozen, i.e before it is fried? - Shanna P.

A: Yes! It works fine to freeze veggie burgers. Make the mix into patties, laying them on a baking sheet between wax paper or plastic wrap, and freeze them like that. After the patties are frozen, seal them in a zip lock freezer bag, sucking out the air with a straw (as many as you want in a bag). They should store that way for up to a month in a fridge freezer or several months in a deep freeze. They can go frozen directly into the fry pan or on the grill.

Q: Can your black bean burgers be cooked on the grill? If not, do you have a "grillable" veg burger recipe? Thanks! :) - Allison B.

A: I would say that black bean burgers are grillable with care, but that tofu burgers are the most grillable of our veggie burger recipes - they hold together best.

I have tried this one, its yummmmy !!! - Achala K

I had that tonight, very good! - Stephanie C. A.

Delish! Thanks for sharing. I used regular rolled oats and it turned out just fine. It was moist enough so I omited the hummus. Good recipe. Will make again. - Angie H.

I have used this recipe several times and recently used a food processor. I put everything in the food processor, omitted the hummus, and also added a small can of green chillies; it was by far the best they have ever turned out for me. I ended up cooking them on a large griddle and was able to cook seven or eight at a time. So delicious!! - Joseph H.

Cooked the black bean burgers for the first time tonight. Delicious! I did not use breadcrumbs, but added a small amount of ground hazeleuts. I also used whole oats - Monica G.

I'm making these today - I'm going to try mixing half the beans with the other ingredients in the food processor and then adding the rest whole. I can see how versatile these are - Ophelia S.
