Black Bean Burgers


It is the 4th of July - no better day for eating a burger!  These black bean burgers are simple, tasty, and  versatile (can be used as refried beans or on tostadas).  I think the original recipe recommended topping them with spicy mayo and arugula - at least thats how my family started out eating them.

Makes 4 or 5 patties

1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise (or vegenaise)
2 cans of black beans, rinsed and drained
2 stalks of finely chopped celery
Optional - 1 to 2 cloves of garlic

In a food processor blend bread crumbs, cumin, coriander, and mayo.  Add 2/3 or the drained black beans and blend.

Stir in remaining black beans and chopped celery.  Using cooking spray to coat pan and heat for 1 minute on medium heat.  Cook patties 5 minutes on each side.
