Black Bean Burgers

Black Bean Burgers Unlike veggie burgers with "chunks," these suave cakes are creamy and smooth, with a few visible beans. They look remarkably like a real hamburger, so dress them up with cheese, lettuce and tomato, or play up the bean flavor with salsa and sour cream.

1 Reserve 1/2 cup of the bean and put the rest in a food processor with the crumbs, egg, mayo and cumin. Process until smooth. Add the remaining beans and pulse just to combine. Wet your hands with water and form the mixture into 6 burgers.
2 Put 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers three at a time, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip once, and cook another 5 minutes, until the outsides are browned and crisp. Repeat with remaining burgers, adding a tablespoon or two more oil as needed. Serve on buns.
