I've linked a version that is very similar, but uses 14 oz tomatoes rather than 4.5 oz. This may solve the one problem this recipe had: it dries out after a few days.
1 15-oz can black beans, drained & rinsed (or 1.5 C of cooked black beans)
1 4.5 oz can diced tomatoes, drained.
1 C fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
2 green onions, chopped
2/3 C chopped carrots
1 3/4 C rolled oats
Preheat oven to 400.
Process all ingredients EXCEPT rolled oats until blended. Add oats and shape into patties. Recipe calls for 8. I think 10 smaller is best.
Line cookie sheet with Silpat (or parchment sprayed with oil). Bake 10 minutes, flip, bake 2 minutes.
We had it first on toasted rustic olive bread. It was okay, but that bread was too firm compared to the soft texture of the burger. Mentally, you're biting and expecting resistance, like a "real" hamburger would give.
The next time I served them on soft potato rolls (which is why the smaller size would work better), spread lemon hummus to mediate the slight dryness, melted a bit of "Fresca" mexican cheese to top and finished off with fresh cilantro.
Much better.
