The thing I love most about this recipe is the Bloody Mary sauce which brings back memories of my wenties. It is also the perfect sauce to slather on this black bean burger which comes together in under thirty mins. The protein patties are charred on the outside, tender in the middle, and packed with bold, smoky favour. Moke them once, and they have a permanent place in your weekly recipe rotation.
