Vegan Chronicles - Making Bean Burgers

Grandma Spicy was so excited when she made the Bean Burger recipe. See the website, http://www.veganpeace.com/recipe_pages/recipes/BlackBeanBurger.htm which I doubled when I created this recipe.

and the exciting ingredients on the cutting board.

When I was done, it was like I had created my own meat. The making of my own meat was a grand thing, but making it with things I love was the windfall. Things like favorites such as a Vidalia Onion, Red Pepper, Carrots, Black Beans, Garlic, and Seasonings impart such flavor. With my cutting board and favorite knife I prepped the vegetables then measured all the ingredients in my trusty food processor and it was done. Finishing it off with some binding agents you can then press this vegetable/bean mixture into some of the best bean patties. These patties not only looked good but smelled splendid. I pressed them out and covered them, placing them in the refrigerator so the flavors can continue to meld together. 

Using another favorite, Olive Oil, and my cast iron skillet Grandma Spicy browned these patties. I then used bread, ketchup, mustard and pickles to prepare quite a delight for my evening meal. And I have two more patties in the fridge for lunch in the next couple of days. The spices in these burgers gave them a kick. While I was enjoying and savoring every bit I realized this recipe could be used with turkey meat to make some very flavorful burger patties. Then my mind went to fish, why not try this recipe by substituting a can of mackerel. With ingredients and this flavor profile the ideas just kept popping in my mind, just like this bean burger was exploding flavor in my mouth. It was hmm, hmm, good!
