Vege spicy black bean burger
These spicy black bean burgers with cornmeal are made with black beans and salsa for added flavor. The patty is formed by processing beans, cornmeal, salsa, and spices together. Next, just pan fry or grill as you would with a regular burger.
The cornmeal and the whole wheat flour act as binders, so you can avoid those pesky crumbly veggie burgers.

Ingredients
- 2 (15-oz.) cans black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat (or all-purpose) flour
- 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 8 hamburger buns
Cooking guidelines
Place beans in food processor and process them until they are fairly smooth. Add flour, cornmeal, salsa, cumin and garlic salt. Process until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into six balls on a large plate and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours before cooking.
Heat barbecue grill or ridged grill pan over medium heat. Coat grill or pan lightly with oil. Form each ball into a 4-inch-wide patty about 1/2-inch thick. Place the patties on the grill or in a pan and then cook until browned and heated through. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Serve your black bean cornmeal patties on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings.
