Nowadays I may still
crave a burger but when I go to bite into one I flash back to that video and
just start crying and then I can’t eat. That said, out of deference to my
hunter friends I will add that I am not judging them for deer hunting to provide
venison for their families. The people I know who rely on hunting for a portion
of their protein are not trophy hunters, nor are they cruel. That puts me on
the fence about the hunting issue. So, I’ll just move this along to my black
bean burger recipe.
Vegetarian burgers
don’t always taste appetizing, IMO, usually because of the mushy texture and
flat, beany taste. But I have a burger recipe that is so good, at least one
meat-eating friend swore it was the real thing. My secret ingredient? Two
things, actually: oats for texture and a lot of seasoning for taste. Try it for
yourself. Spice it up with your favorite flavors or try something new like, maybe some pesto, or a touch of horseradish…
Vegetarian Burger
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp cumin (or try substituting a bit of tamari sauce or
Worchestershire)
1 ½ cup cooked black beans, lightly mashed
1 cup oats (old fashioned provides more texture)
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/3 cup chopped, fresh herbs (whatever you have in the
garden; oregano, thyme, basil, savory and parsley all work great for me)
½ tsp dried herbs (same as above)
1 lg egg, beaten
Chill, covered 1 hour to up to 1 day before grilling. Fry 4
to 6 minutes each side.
Makes 4 burgers
