Instructions
Combine all the burger ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until everything is chopped small. You don’t want it to turn into a paste. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together easily.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Meanwhile, divide the bean mixture into 4 equal portions, and form them into patties, about ½ inch thick, or whatever size is reasonable for your bun size.
Pan fry the patties over medium heat, about 5 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn them. Flip carefully to avoid smashing the patties.
Serve hot, on whole grain buns or in lettuce wraps, with condiments, and veggies as desired.
