Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Spread the 2 (15 oz) cans of rinsed, drained black beans evenly on the sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes until slightly dried out, stirring halfway through. Move the beans to a large bowl and mash partly with a potato masher, leaving some beans whole.
3. Put the 1/2 cup prepared salsa in a fine-mesh sieve and stir a few times to drain off excess liquid. Add the drained salsa to the beans, then stir in the 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup minced red onion, 2 beaten eggs, 2 tbsp mustard, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Refrigerate 10 minutes to firm up.
4. Shape the mixture into 6 to 8 patties, using about 1/3 cup for each.
5. Stovetop: heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat. Add 4 patties and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned. Repeat with the remaining oil and patties.
6. Grill: brush the grate with a little oil and cook the patties over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned.
7. Oven: place the patties on a lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
8. Serve the burgers on buns with your favourite toppings.
