Carolyn: I submit to you my first Vegan 8 recipe review, for the “Easiest Black Bean Burger,” actually from Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen Cookbook.
While it’s more than 8 ingredients, it’s definitely pretty quick and easy to put together. Especially if you have a food processor. At the point that I had thrown together the walnuts, oats, garlic, ginger, onion, and jalapeños, I realized I have no food processor. I’ve been so used to having one that I didn’t realize I didn’t bring it when I moved.
I made a ridiculous attempt at using my immersion blender. Bad idea jeans.
So: I added another can of beans (with liquid) and cooked down slightly on the stove top to bring the flavors together a bit. Voila: A yummy taco filling/fajita filling, or bowl as I’m currently enjoying. Throw on some avocado, extra cilantro, chopped tomatoes and a little lime juice. Amazeballs.
Love the flavor and texture, it’s filling, and I will definitely make this often.
I also look forward to making sure I have a food processor to actually make burgers next time. I’m imagining a grilled char will send this recipe through the roof for me.
