Grillable Black Bean Burgers (gluten free!)

In a small pan, saute onions in a bit of olive oil until soft. 2. Blend pecans and all the spices in your blender or food processor until completely ground up and combined. 3. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mashed completely with a few black bean pieces left. Add cooked brown rice, pecan and spice blend, sauteed onions, BBQ sauce, and breadcrumbs. Mix together well until combined. 4. Form into patties – you will get about 7 burger patties. 5. I used an indoor grill but you can use an outdoor grill or stove top. Cook on each side for about 5 minutes or until browned. See notes for grill versus stove top method. 6. Serve on your favorite bun, sandwich bread, or eat plain! Add toppings like ketchup, mustard, pickles, vegan mayo, tomato, lettuce etc. 7. Enjoy!
