Black Bean And Vegetable Patties

Black Bean And Vegetable Patties

These are new to my recipe list. As much as I love cooking, I often find it difficult to constantly be creative and ensuring that we always have a good variety and balance. These patties got the seal of approval from my little boy who ate them hot (and cold!). Pretty quick and easy to make, they will no doubt be a regular on our plates. They can be put in burger buns with all the toppings or with chips and salad. They are also vegan and glutenfree.
