Black Bean Burgers (serves 4)
Black Bean Burgers
One of the great joys of vegan life, we have come to find out, is. . . Burgers! Of course no animals are harmed, and the main ingredient is black beans. Finding the correct combination of moisture and substance for these burgers has been our greatest cooking challenge since becoming vegan. What we didn’t know at first is that these are baked, rather than pan fried or grilled. (Once the extras are frozen, they can, of course e warmed with anything from the microwave to the outdoor grill.) Bake these on a lightly greased baking sheet. Be sure to let them cook long enough to become crispy on the outside and hot all the way through. ~ Glyn and Will
