Preparation

Step 1

Warning: This recipe calls for chilling ingredients for an hour before cooking.


In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, place onion, garlic and cumin.
Pulse until coarsely chopped.
Add beans, breadcrumbs and cilantro. Pulse until combined, but don’t puree!!
Transfer to a bowl, stir in toasted walnuts and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fold in beated egg.

Form into approximately 4 patties. If burgers seem too wet add more breadcrumbs.
Chill for at least an hour. You can also chill overnight.
Cook patties in oil, four to six minutes each side.
