Ingredients

  • 2 15 ounce black beans drained, rinsed, divided
  • ½ medium red onion diced, plus a few slices for topping
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 1 egg whisked
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt OR salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup bread crumbs plain, you may need less
  • olive oil
  • 4 burger buns sesame seed
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce
  • pineapple sliced
  • red onion slices

Instructions

  • Combine 1 can of the drained beans, garlic, parsley, cilantro and diced red onion in a large bowl.
  • Transfer to a food processer and pulse until the mixture is pureed. It does not need to be smooth, a few chunks are fine.
  • Return the mixture to the bowl and add the remaining beans, the egg, red pepper flakes and seasoned salt.
  • Combine the mixture using your hands. You want it to be firm enough to form patties, so add breadcrumbs, a little at a time, mixing well until you get the right consistency.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 parts and form into patties.
  • Fire up your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Lightly brush both sides of the patties with the oil. Place on the grill and cook 4-5 minutes or until a nice char is formed.
  • Flip and cook the other side 4-5 minutes or until a nice char is formed.
  • Remove from the grill.
  • Serve on buns, topped with teriyaki sauce, pineapple and red onion slices.
