Black Bean and Lentil Burgers: hold up to a grill, batch cook and freeze extra for later use
This recipe has been a few months in the creation process. I wanted to make sure that the recipe was easily repeatable. What good is a recipe if it doesn’t turn out the same every time? These burgers are a great hit with my family. Put the the condiments, lettuce, tomato, onion and whatever you enjoy on your burgers and these Black Bean and Lentil Burgers will not disappoint! These are perfect for making in larger batches to freeze some for later, which is one thing I love to do. They hold up excellently to the grill also, so you can get that smokey deliciousness cooked into the burgers.
This recipe uses my Irish Moss Sea Gel recipe as a thickening agent/egg replacement. Check it out! It’s super easy and quick to make!
