Just in time for the season. If you like tomatoes like I do, you will love this tomato pie. In this tomato pie recipe I used Kumato tomatoes. It’s not necessary to use these tomatoes, any tomato will do.

Black Bean Burger

Black Bean Burger

The first time I tasted a vegetarian burger was at Lenny’s. And I must say I didn’t miss the meat at all.  I actually liked it a lot. Not to say that I am becoming a vegetarian, I still like meat. I figured it can’t be to hard to make one, and here is my version of a Black Bean Burger.

Ingredients
  • 1 bag of dried black beans
  • 1 tbsp chicken base
  • 5 cups of water
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup of bread crumbs
  • 1 (4 oz) can of chiles
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • ½ chopped onion
  • hamburger buns
  • mayo
  • tomato
  • pickles
  • lettuce
  • cheese of your choice

Instructions
  1. Rinse and wash the dried beans. Put them in your crock-pot, add 5 cups of water, 1 tbsp of chicken base and the package of seasoning what came with the dried beans. Cook on low for 12 hrs or high 6 hrs. After the beans are cooked I used 4 cups of the cooked beans. The rest you can use for something else like soup. If you don’t want to wait that long use 2 (14 oz) can black beans, but do rinse them
  2. Put the cooked beans in the food processor. Add to the smushed beans 1 egg, the breadcrumbs, chiles, cumin, chili, hot sauce and the chopped onion to the beans.
  3. Shape 6 patties, you can either grill them or fry them in a skillet. Remember you just have to brown them the beans are already cooked.
  4. Toast the hamburger buns, spread some mayo on the buns and top with the burger, cheese and the rest of toppings. You be surprised how good a vegetarian burger can be.

Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan

First time for me to prepare Eggplant Parmesan. And I must say it was really good. I am not a vegetarian but I don’t mind to eat a main dish without meat. Wanda was nice enough to share this recipe with me and now I am sharing this recipe with you. I did make a few changes to her recipe. I did not use parsley, instead I used basil. Breaded the eggplant instead of baking them “naked” 🙂 Thanks Wanda for the inspiration.
