Equipment
- Instant Pot
- Measuring Spoon
- Measuring Cup
- Rubber Spatula
- Knife
- Cutting Board
- Foil
- Trivet
- Large Bowl
- Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1-16 oz can Black Beans
- 0.5 Red Bell Pepper, seeds removed, diced
- 0.5 Onion, diced
- 3 Garlic Cloves, diced
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 cup Bread Crumbs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Place the black beans, bell pepper, onion and garlic cloves in a blender or food processor. Blend until you get a nice smooth mix. It is okay if there are a few bigger pieces of peppers or onions, you mainly want all the black beans to be smashed.
- Transfer the mix from the blender into a large bowl. Add the egg, spices and breadcrumbs. Stir well with a spoon or your hands.
- Divide the mix into four parts and then use your hands to form 4 large burger patties.
- Place the burger patties on a piece of foil and pull the edges of the foil up slightly around the burgers. Place the foil onto the Instant Pot trivet or into a steamer basket.
- Add one cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the trivert with the foil wrapped burgers into the Instant Pot Bowl.
- Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and close, setting the steamer valve to ‘seal’. Press the ‘manual’ button and set the timer for 5 minutes on high pressure. When the cooking time is complete, let the Instant Pot naturally release the pressure which means just let the pot sit! When you can open the lid, the pressure has all been released! This takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the burgers while warm with a burger bun and your favorite burger toppings!
