Black Bean Burgers

The government of Germany (this is Germany, people, where there is over 100 types of sausage) has asked its citizens to reserve the eating of meat to only on special occasions, due to the fact that 15% of their air pollution is because of agriculture. In Germany!!!!!

So I started new vegetarian recipes.


Black Bean Burgers

2 14 ounce cans of black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain dry bread crumbs
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
3 Tbsp vegetable oil

1. Pulse 1 can beans in food processor with mayo, bread crumbs, cumin, oregano and cayenne until a coarse puree forms. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cilantro and remaining can bean. Form mixture into 4 patties.

2. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat until it shimmers. Cook burgers until outside are crisp and lightly brown, about 5 minutes total.
