Brilliant Black Bean Burgers

This is the burger you make for the vegetarians and then the carnivores end up eating it. Versatile and yummy.

I've always loved creating veggie burgers and this is one of my favourites. I geared it towards my daughter's favourite flavours - cumin, a little spice and fresh cilantro. It's great topped with an egg and some salsa for breakfast or as a fully decked out burger for supper.

After draining and rinsing the black beans, let them dry out before placing them in the oven. Dab them with a paper towel if you are pressed for time. This helps the burgers from getting too mushy.


​The food processor makes this quick and easy but you can chop everything and give a little mash by hand if you don't have one. This recipe makes 4 burgers.
