Meatless Burgers

Ingredients

• 0.5 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more to taste
• 0.5 cup bread crumbs, or more as needed
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

Steps

1. Pulse onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, egg, cilantro, parsley, red pepper flakes, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce; pulse to combine.
2. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add remaining black beans and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined, adding up to 2 tablespoons bread crumbs if mixture seems too wet.
3. Divide mixture into 6 portions and form into patties.
4. Heat oil in a large grill pan over medium-low heat. Place patties on the hot pan and cook until heated through, about 6 minutes a side.
