Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Ground Flax Seeds
  • 1 can Black Beans washed and drained
  • ½ Red Onion roughly chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • 3/4 cup/ 50 grams Breadcrumbs you may not need them all
  • 1 tbsp Sunflower Oil
  • Toppings of choice

Instructions

  • Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp ground flax seeds with 2.5 tbsp water. Add to a blender along with the onion, garlic, and half the black beans. Blend until smooth. (If you need to add a little water to help it blend, that is fine)
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the remaining beans as well as the spices. Mix to combine. 
  • Gradually add in the breadcrumbs until the mixture comes together. You may not need them all. Divide the mixture into 4 burgers and shape into patties.
  • Cook the patties in an oiled pan over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes on each side. You are aiming for a golden brown colour and for the burgers to be heated through.
  • Serve immediately with your choice of toppings!

Notes

  • I like to make extra burgers to store in the fridge and bring for lunch the next day. They go great in wraps with a little hummus!
