Ingredients 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded (about ½ cup) 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano ¾ cup dried breadcrumbs 2 large eggs, lightly beaten Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Hamburger buns, romaine-lettuce leaves, sliced avocado, sliced red onion, sour cream, and lime wedges, for serving Directions Lightly mash beans in a large bowl, leaving some whole. Add carrot, chili powder, oregano, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Season generously with salt and pepper; stir until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 4 portions and form into patties. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook, undisturbed, until bottom forms a browned crust and most of oil is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Flip patties and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan, swirling to coat bottom. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on other side and heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve on buns with accompaniments. Alpha Smoot Cook's Notes The patties can be prepared through step 1 a day ahead, placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet, covered, and kept in the refrigerator. Variations For smaller appetites, form the bean mixture into six patties. Originally appeared: Martha Stewart Living, April 2014 Rate It PRINT
