I'm a happy cook!


After trying for weeks to come up with a recipe and technique for a Black Bean Burger patty to put on the menu at the restaurant I had almost given up, after several attempts I just couldn’t get a good flavor or texture that I was willing to charge people money for. I didn't want to go with the overpriced frozen cardboard hockey pucks they sell at the food service supply company and was almost ready to just not put it on the menu. I really wanted one more vegetarian option on the menu so this week I did some more research and and came up with a new recipe I tried it out tonight and they came out better than I could have imagined, moist, delicious, just spicy enough, and hold together great during cooking. Turns out the secret is to use some cooked Quinoa as one of the binder fillers it seems to hold the moisture in during the cooking process also I left out the cumin and added some sweet chili sauce. I’m really excited about how the recipe development is going on all the dishes, cant wait till we get the restaurant open so some of you can try these out. Dennis
