Over the weekend we went to our best friends' house for dinner and she made zucchini fries. The hubbie loved them, which I was pleasantly surprised by because they are so healthy! So of course, I couldn't wait to make them.
Whilst getting my ingredients ready for supper, the hubster, who never comes into the kitchen mind you, to "oversee" the process. Once he found out that I was planning on adjusting the recipe to be vegan, he was not having it. I believe he said "great, so I have to eat food that tastes like crap". Not a very confidence-boosting thought. So I said "forget it" and whipped out the cheese! And boy, does cheese taste good after abstaining from it (albeit only for one day)!
a little wine and cheese for an app....

TVP and Black Bean burger:
Monday night's leftovers from the fajitas I made turned into vegetarian black bean burgers:
3/4 cup black beans (cooked)
1/2 cup TVP (re-hydrated)
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 small onion - diced
1 garlic clove - minced
1/4 cup button mushrooms - sliced
salt, pepper and thyme to taste
Saute the onion and the garlic for 2 minutes until onions are translucent, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until all the liquid has been cooked out of the mushrooms, about 3 - 5 minutes.
Add all ingredients into a food processor and puree until smooth, but a little chunky.
Form into patties and grill in saute pan until brown on both sides.
