This is a recipe for Black Bean Burgers from what has become my favorite cookbook- Tupelo Honey Cafe: Spirited Recipes from Asheville’s New South Kitchen. I’m so excited to learn that they have second cookbook in the works, due to be published sometime in early 2014. The new cookbook will focus on the Mountain South- “it’s people, culture, traditions, foods, history, music, arts and crafts”. The Grateful Dead Black Bean Burger is one spicy burger and it’s loaded with lots of different veggies in addition to black beans. Love that the recipe uses tofu as a binder instead of egg.
