Hmm.

For dinner I made the Cooking on a Bootstrap Carrot Kidney Bean Burgers.

(I added garlic and salt and cayenne pepper, though.)

I am NOT sure how I feel about them.

They came out a little soggy, but I can see where that could be fixed.

I think I was a tad low on spoons to be doing that today, but I needed food, so *shrug*.

We make lentil burgers every so often, and it's all about getting to know exactly how wet your mix should be, which comes with practice. Also, your pan needs to be hot enough or the mix just sucks up the oil, but not so hot you smoke yourself out of the kitchen. Also, herbs are great! Bean things need lots of punchy flavours or they can be a bit bland and floury. We use a combination of rosemary, cumin, stock powder, garlic, sage, thyme, smoked paprika, and black pepper in ours.

*nod* I admit part of it was probably that I was feeling impatient and didn't want to be out in the kitchen here any longer than I had to be, so I think I under-did one side just a smidge.

Fortunately, even slightly underdone patties tend to be delicious. Lots of tomato sauce!
