Serves 4

Ingredients

• 3/4 15-oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
• 1 tablespoon flaxmeal
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 scallions, chopped
• handful of parsley, chopped
• juice of half a lemon
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• salt + pepper

To garnish

• 4 pieces bibb lettuce
• couple handfuls of baby arugula
• 1 avocado
• ½ red onion, sliced
• grain or Dijon mustard

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 425ºF degrees.

2. Pulse ingredients in a food processor until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, form the mixture into four patties, around 1-inch thick.

3. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment (this makes for an easier clean up) and drizzle each patty with olive oil. Bake for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
