Jamaican Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 1/4 cups chopped onion
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 habanero pepper, chopped
    1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
    1 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    2 1/4 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
    2 1/4 cups cooked long-grain white rice
    2 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
    6 hamburger buns, split
Preparation
    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir for a few minutes. Mix in the habanero pepper and continue cooking until tender. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Pour in the beans, rice and bread crumbs. Season with ginger, salt, allspice and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly using your hands. Form into 6 patties.
    Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (you can use the same one). Fry the patties until golden on each side, about 10 minutes total. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
