Recipe for My Delish Vegetarian Dinner!

As requested from my Facebook page, here is the recipe for my dinner the other night. I've tried several bean burger recipes and they're either too time consuming or don't taste so good, so I was happy to see this recipe from 'The Happy Herbivore' which I have tweaked slightly: Bean Burgers: 1 can black beans, rinsed 1 can white kidney beans, rinsed 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion powder 1/3 cup ground flax seeds 1/2 cup oats 3-5 TBSP mustard (whatever kind you like...this is for flavor and moistness). Put everything into a bowl and mash it up. Shape into burger patties, put on baking sheet lines with parchment and bake at 400F for 15-20 min. You can serve these on a bun, but I didn't. I served them as a side, so they were a little messy, but who needs all that bread!! My sides were: Smashed Potatoes: Bake as many potatoes as your family will eat. Wash them well, bake in the oven at 450F until fork tender (about 35-45 min), then use a mug to 'smash' the potato down a little (roughly an inch thick) - the skin will crack open. Then drizzle with a good amount of olive oil and put back in the oven until slightly golden brown (about 10 min). sprinkle with sea salt. These are DELICIOUS and the kids love them. You can serve with a side of plain/greek yogurt. Simple Grated Carrot salad: Grate 4-5 large carrots (I use my food processor). Add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp grated ginger, drizzle of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Toss and serve. This meal combo has everything you need - protein, health fats, fiber and antioxidants! everyone is happy! Enjoy! Dr. Anna Falkowski HBSc, ND.
