Black bean smashed burgers from Third Culture Cooking: Classic Recipes for a New Generation (page 96) by Zaynab Issa

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute Sriracha sauce or hot sauce for adobo sauce, jalapeños for chipotles, panko for breadcrumbs, and burger buns for brioche buns.

    These were great. I messed up, adding the adobo sauce to the patties (read that part carefully) and they were still good, albeit with extra kick. The crispy edges from the pan fry and smash really make it “meaty”. Served with a carrot slaw salad.

    Very good, not too much work. Made 10 patties with a 1/4 cup measure.
