Black bean and tofu burgers, à la North Peak Tavern
Despite being a committed carnivore, there are few things I enjoy more than a good veggie burger. Making them well has always been an ambition of mine, but sadly it's been an unfulfilled one until recently – delicious-tasting but mushy lentil blobs, or pancakey fritters. A recent search turned up this wonderful-sounding recipe from the North Peak Tavern, which I desperately wanted to try. The one issue, sadly, was that one of the main ingredients is the one thing Kathryn genuinely won't eat – mushrooms. Not to be put off, I thought I'd give it a go with tofu instead, adding soy sauce to try and retain some of that rich umami flavour.
