Anne’s daughter Emma came up with this recipe for her favorite vegetarian meal. These patties freeze well which makes for dinner in a snap. Cumin and Cayenne spice this burger and layer in with the Caramelized Onion Avocado Oil. The black bean technique of baking the beans to dry them just a bit really helps transform the texture. Serve these with our Creamy Cilantro Sauce and Quick Pickled Red Onions.
