Black Bean Veggie Burger with Smoky Hummus Spread

Great grill-able vegan option for both an appetizer as sliders or as a full burger. Pair with Smoked Paprika seasoned fries for a amped up smoky meal!

Ingredients

Procedure

For the burgers

1. Blend 1 1/2 cup black beans in a food processor until beans are almost a paste. Add green bell peppers, onions, and garlic and process until vegetables are finely chopped.
2. Transfer black bean mixture in a large bowl. Add remaining black beans, flax seed mixture, salt, spices, harissa, and bread crumbs. Mix until ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigorate for 30 minutes.
3. For sliders, form into 8 equal patties. For burgers, form until 4 equal patties. Freeze for at least 1 hours (or until needed).
4. Heat grill on high, ensure grill is well oiled. Grill patties until they have desired grill marks and are heated through.

For build

1. Toast buns. Spread hummus on base of bun, top with lettuce leaves and grilled patties on top of that. Finish with avocado, onions, and tomato slices. Top with bun crown. For appetizer serve in plates of four sliders, full sized burgers can stand alone.
