Chef Corbin offers his take on an all-Canadian burger by keeping the meat lean and adding fresh toppings. He substitutes a creamy black bean hummus for cheese and with all that flavour we promise you won’t miss the bacon!

Instructions
1
To make the black bean hummus combine all of the ingredients into a small food processor and pulse lightly to incorporate all of the flavuors and to form a thick hummus.
2
For the BBQ sauce, combine all sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and continue to cook the sauce for 20-30 minutes, be sure to stir periodically and not over heat or burn the sauce.
3
For the burger, coat a large griddle, outdoor grill rack or stovetop grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.
4
In a large bowl, combine beef, shallot, garlic, thyme, rosemary, BBQ sauce, salt and pepper; mix well and shape into 4 oz patties, about 1-inch-thick each. (To retain juiciness, be careful not to overwork the meat.)
5
Place burgers on hot griddle or grill and cook 5 minutes per side for medium (or longer to desired degree of doneness).
6
Serve burgers on half a roll with iceberg lettuce, beef steak tomato and black bean hummus.
