Use your hands or a fork to mash the beans and add the panko bread crumbs and bell pepper, onion and garlic that have been chopped finely in a food processor.
Separately beat the egg and mix in the seasonings.
Fold the egg mixture into the beans and bread crumbs and combine until there is a uniform mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Form into 4-6 patties and cook on a preheated iron skillet (or any non-stick) skillet coated with oil (we use peanut or coconut oil for this) for 3-5 minutes per side depending on size.
