Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the diced onion until deeply charred and soft, about 8 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mash half the black beans with a fork, then fold in the charred onions, breadcrumbs, paprika, and egg until a cohesive mixture forms.
Form the mixture into four patties and heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Sear the patties for 5 minutes per side until a dark, crispy crust develops, top with blue cheese during the last minute of cooking, and serve on arugula.
