Recipe - Getty Center Mexican Black Bean Burgers

3 pound Cooked black beans; rinsed
and drained
One fourth cup Diced onion
One half cup Diced red bell pepper
1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 Egg substitute
1 cup Bread crumbs
2 tablespoon Cilantro
2 tablespoon Olive oil
8 Hamburger buns; mixed grain

OPTIONS
Salsa
Guacomole

Put beans, onion, bell pepper, cayenne pepper, egg, bread crumbs and
cilantro in food processor. Process, adding more bread crumbs as needed to
make a mixture dry enough to form into patties. Shape into 8 patties.
Patties may be made a day ahead and refrigerated to allow them to set well.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add
4 patties and fry 2 minutes per side, turning once. Add remaining
tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining 4 patties and cook.

Place each patty in a hamburger roll and serve with salsa and guacamole, if
desired.
