Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil; grease lightly.

2. Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute longer.

3. Pour beans into a large bowl and use a fork or potato masher to mash into a thick paste. Scrape vegetables from skillet into bowl. Stir in egg, cumin and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Use your fingers to form into 4 patties (do not overmix). Place patties on baking sheet and bake until firm and set, about 10 minutes on each side. Serve on whole-grain buns with lettuce, tomato and sliced red onion, if desired.
