Black Bean Burgers
Vegetarian cooking can get a bad rap. For those who aren’t regularly preparing meals without meat I think the 1970s, macrame plant holder beside the Moosewood cookbook halo still lingers. In reality, vegetarians have long since had a total makeover. There wouldn’t be books called Skinny Bitch in the Kitch if they hadn’t. Seriously, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin’s recipes are great! Even though I’m committed to cooking a few meatless meals each week I do tend to think of them as the most virtuous dishes I’m going to feed my family. But what about fun stuff? Like burgers. I love them. So, so much. I’m the person who’d rather have a burger than a steak at a barbecue. I like the idea of a veggie burger but so often I find they taste of seasoning rather than beans or veggies and certainly not like meat. I love this black bean version. They’re satisfyingly savoury but the black beans really come through. Zesty rather than spicy, they’ve got a Latin bent. My kids are going through a stage where their spice threshold is extremely low. But these were winners with everyone. Plus, they come together quickly. And they’re fun, damn it.
