I have a confession to make; I love a good burger! There is something about the combination of meat, cheese, vegetables, and bread that I find really hard to resist. To me, the burger is the epitome of American cuisine.
Of course, burgers aren’t necessarily that healthy, so I only eat them occasionally – like at weekends.
Recently, I have been experimenting with vegetarian eating. It’s not that I don’t like meat. It’s just I think I ought to try to eat it a little less often.
Because of this, I was really excited to give these vegan black bean burgers a try. At first, I was skeptical they would taste very good but, to my great surprise, they taste awesome!
If you are a vegetarian or a vegan and find yourself wishing you could eat a burger, make sure you give this recipe a try. And if you are a meat eater, you should try them too, just to see how good vegetarian food can taste.
