Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, plus more for garnish
• 2 cups canned beans (preferably white)
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• Tbsp. chili powder
• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Cut a medium onion into chunks and put it in a food processor, along with 2 cups drained canned beans (white are best here, but any will work), ½ cup rolled oats, a tablespoon of chili powder and salt and pepper.

Pulse, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides as necessary.

Taste; if it's too dry, add water; too wet, add more rolled oats, a tablespoon at a time.

Divide the mixture into four even patties and cook them in olive oil until nicely browned each side. (Turn carefully.)

Serve on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and onions.
