BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then saute the onions for 4 minutes, until they start to soften. Add the garlic, mushrooms and thyme and cook for a further 3 minutes or until most of the mushroom juice has evaporated. Stir in the drained beans and soy sauce and cook through for around 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat.
• Roughly mash the mixture with a potato masher, whilst keeping some texture; be careful not to over mash. Stir in the flour and nutritional yeast flakes, if using. Divide the mixture into 4 portions. Then, using your hands, mold each portion into a burger shape about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches wide or wide enough to fit your bun.
• Put the burgers on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Allow to chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour, to firm up before cooking.
• To fry the burgers: Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a medium-large frying pan over a medium heat (you want to hear a nice sizzle) and cook the burgers for about 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through and crisp brown on both sides.
• To assemble the burgers: Spread 1 teaspoon of 1000 Island Dressing on the base of each bun, then lay a lettuce leaf on top. Add a burger, spread a thin layer of mustard onto each burger, add a slice or 2 of tomato, and then 3 thin slices of pickle. Add a few arugula leaves, then spread a little mustard on the underside of each burger top to complete. Serve with potato chips, if using.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a small serving bowl, whisking with a fork.
• This dressing is delicious spooned over veggie burgers or served as a dip with crudites. I also love it drizzled over a festive vegetarian nut roast the next day in a sandwich. Any unused dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 375 degrees.
• Soak sun-dried tomatoes in about 1/2 cup hot water for 10 minutes. Drain. In the meantime, heat the 1/4 cup water over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add onion and cook until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, garlic, cumin, and cook until mushrooms have released their juices, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add red wine and tamari and cook to reduce in half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• Tear toasted bread into pieces and place in a food processor. Process until broken down into crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a medium bowl. Add the mushroom mixture and beans to the food processor along with the sun-dried tomatoes; pulse until combined, but not smooth. Leave some chunky bits. Scoop mixture into the bowl with the bread crumbs; season with salt and pepper.
• Mix ingredients together and divide into 2 equal portions. With dampened hands, shape each portion into four patties, about 3 1/2" each for 8 patties. Place burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brown burgers on one side, about 10 minutes. Flip to brown on the other side for another 10, watching to make sure they don't overcook.
• Enjoy with all of the burger fixins'.

Steps:

• Get your grill going with a medium-hot fire.
• Lightly oil a vegetable grill rack and put it in place.
• Saute your onions in a skillet on the stove, cooking until they are golden brown - about 4 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, garlic and cumin. Cook until the mushrooms have released their juices - about 5 minutes.
• Spoon the mixture into the food processor. Add the beans and cilantro and process briefly - you want it mixed but still chunky.
• Put this mixture into a bowl and stir in the goat cheese if you are using it. Also add the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
• Form into patties.
• Brush both sides of the patties with oil or spray with Pam to insure they don't stick to the grill.
• Grill until crisp and heated through, about 5 minutes per side.

• Put the mushrooms, beans, garlic, oats, spices and soy sauce in a food processor with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let the machine run until the mixture is combined, not puréed, about 30 seconds. (Or use a potato masher.) Add oats to thicken, or liquid to thin, as needed.
• Stir in the cilantro, and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Shape into 4 large or 8 small patties; let them sit for 5 minutes.
• Put the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until crisp on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the burgers are crisp on the other side, another 5 minutes or so. Serve with the usual fixings.
