1/2 green bell pepper cut into 2 inch pieces.
1/2 onion cut into wedges.
3 cloves of garlic peeled.
1 egg.
Method
Preparation time: 15 minutes cooking time: 20 minutes
If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminium foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
In a small bowl, stir together egg, chilli powder, cumin, and chilli sauce.
Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
