Ingredients

• 400 g (1 can, rinsed and drained) Black beans
• 400 g (1 can, rinsed and drained) Kidney beans
• 100 g Breadcrumbs
• 1 medium, finely chopped Red onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 medium, finely chopped (adjust for spice level) Red chili
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Tomato paste
• 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 4 Burger buns
• 0 as needed Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans and kidney beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture for bite.

Step 2

Add the chopped red onion, minced garlic, red chili, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, soy sauce, tomato paste, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the breadcrumbs and olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs; if it feels too dry, add a small splash of olive oil.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through. Handle carefully when flipping, as the patties may be delicate.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired, and assemble each burger with your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a dollop of vegan mayo.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, spicy chilli bean burgers!
