Preparation Steps
1
Drain and rinse the black beans under cold water. In a large bowl, mash them with a fork or an immersion blender.
2
Finely chop the red onion and garlic. Sauté them with the diced bell pepper in a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet until softened.
3
Add the sautéed onion mixture to the mashed beans. Stir in the oatmeal, breadcrumbs, baking powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Form the mixture into 4 equally sized patties. If the mixture is too soft, add a little more breadcrumbs.
5
Place the patties on a tray and let them chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
6
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bean patties for about 4-5 minutes per side.
7
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
8
Halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or oven until lightly crispy.
9
Spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf and the cheese-melted bean patty.
10
Top with tomato slices, then drizzle with ketchup and mustard.
11
Place the top half of the bun on top and serve with a side salad or French fries.
