@edgarblythe,
It's easy Edgar
Get a can of cooked black beans and squish them with a fork
add garlic and onion powder, 3 tablespoon tomato paste, some cooked vegetables cut up - I used peas I mashed and parsley. Add salt & pepper, form patties and bake in an oven between 4 and 6 min. at 350F. That's it! You can use a frying pan too!
