Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup black beans
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/6 cup brown rice, (1/2 cup when cooked)
  • 1/4 cup pecans

Directions:

  1. In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the beans, and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer until the beans are tender, 60 to 70 minutes. Drain.
  2. In a frying pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the canola oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper and the garlic and saute until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool. Set the pan aside.
  3. In a food processor, combine the drained beans, onion mixture, brown rice, pecans, green onion, the remaining 1 teaspoon cumin and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse several times until the mixture is coarsely pureed. Fold in the beaten egg and bread crumbs. Form the mixture into 6 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick.
  4. In the same pan used for the onion mixture, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until nicely browned on both sides and heated through, 7 to 9 minutes total.
  5. Serve each burger on a bun topped with 1 tomato slice, 1 onion slice, 1/2 lettuce leaf and a dollop of the ketchup.
