One thing you may notice about my recipes is that I tend to re-use ingredients. This is likely a swell time to remind you that, again, I’m super lazy when it comes to food. I don't have time to get to the store every single day, so that means that each recipe--while unique in its own way--will need to share. Think of me as a polyamorous cook, just don't quote me. What's cool about the Black Bean Seitan Burger is that you don't have to gear yourself up for making mushy patties. It's nearing the holidays, and maybe you just paid for a manicure. Or perhaps that's just me. At any rate use/replace what you want, and as always, enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

Arugula

Lettuce

Red Cabbage

Black Beans

Tomato

Mushrooms

Seitan Strips (These are from Sprouts)

Hamburger Bun (Make sure it's vegan, because some are made with dairy, and up to you whether you give a crap about using wheat...I didn't). 

Seasonings (All optional):

Nutritional Yeast

Vegan Chipotle Mayo (I didn't use any this time)

Kosher Salt and Pepper

Onion Powder 

Recipe:

Sauté' the seitan and mushrooms in seasonings of choice. Toast buns, and fork mash a few black bean onto one of the buns (okay I lied this recipe involves some mashing, but it is optional). Next step... layer everything else on top of the mashed beans. Add the vegan mayo and/or Nutritional Yeast.  All done!
