BBQ'd Black Bean Burgers (vegan)

My meat loving family LOVED these burgers!! It's been three days since we had them and they're still talking about them. So it gets "Cookies and Catwalks" Real Estate.

This recipe makes 4 small or 3 large patties, so you may want to double it:

• 8.5 oz. Black Beans, Rinsed
• 3 tbsp. Chia Seeds soaked in 7 tbsp. water
• 2 slices of wholemeal bread, broken into small pieces
• 2 tsp. dijon mustard
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
• oats, only if needed

Set aside half of the black beans, then place all ingredients into food processor. Pulse a few times to keep it lumpy.

Stir in the rest of the black beans for texture. If your mixture is too wet, add some oats (I didn't have to). Form burgers into balls , then squash them down as flat as you like. This recipe says to make 4 patties, but I made three large.

Gently fry each burger for 1 minute on both sides in a little heated olive oil to seal them. BBQ for 15 minutes. Serve on buns with lots of your favourite condiments!
