Bulgur-Black Bean Veggie Burger

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and bulgur to pan along with 1 cup of water or broth. Cover and simmer on low until water is absorbed, about 15-18 minutes.
2. Put cooked bulgur in a large mixing bowl with mashed beans, breadcrumbs, cilantro, spices, and Worcestershire suace, and mix well. Taste for flavor. Add slightly beaten egg and integrate into the mix.
3. Form into 4 large patties (or 6 smaller ones), about ½ cups of mixture per patty.
4. Chill at least 20 minutes. While patties chill, prepare aioli by pulsing all ingredients in a blender or food processor until blended. Chill until ready to use.
5. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. When hot, drop in patties and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side.
6. Serve on whole wheat rolls with Lime-Cilantro Aioli and desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado).
