  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper -- (up to 1/2)
  • 1 egg White -- beaten
  • 1/4 cup Bread crumbs -- (up to 1/3)
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 6 hamburger Buns
  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup Packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons Finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon Finely chopped ginger root
  • 1/4 cup Cider vinegar

Directions
  1. 1
    In a large bowl, combine the black beans, 1/2 cup chopped onion, parsley, garlic, minced jalapeño peppers, 1/3 cup flour, coriander, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
  2. 2
    Mix in the beaten egg white.
  3. 3
    Coarsely mash the mixture into a thick, chunky paste using a potato masher, or pulse in a food processor until combined but not pureed.
  4. 4
    Mix in bread crumbs, adding more if necessary, to create a firm mixture that holds together when pressed.
  5. 5
    Form the bean mixture into six equal patties, lightly coating them with remaining flour.
  6. 6
    Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set over medium heat until hot.

    Bring the relish mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and cranberries burst, about 10 minutes.
  10. 10
    Serve the warm black bean burgers on hamburger buns topped with the cranberry-ginger relish.

Note

Storage: Leftover burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The relish can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.

Substitutions: For a vegan option, replace the egg white with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes). You can substitute the flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour if needed.

Tips: If the burger mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If it is too dry, add a tablespoon of water or more bean liquid. Letting the patties chill for 1-2 hours before cooking helps them hold their shape better.

Variations: Add diced avocado or a slice of cheese to the burgers for extra richness. You can also swap the cranberry relish for a classic tomato salsa or chipotle mayo.
