VEGAN SLOW-COOKER PINTO BEANS

Steps:

• Spray the slow-cooker with cooking spray. Rinse and sort the beans, add to the prepared slow-cooker.
• Add all the spices and the olive oil to the beans. Stir until every bean is coated with the spice mixture.
• Add the onion, tomato, garlic and cilantro to the beans. Mix thoroughly.
• Pour the water over all. Cook on high for 5-7 hours - stirring occasionally.

VEGAN BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan; add oats. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until oats have absorbed water, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in the hot oil until tender, about 10 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons water, basil, and salt into the onion mixture. Cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until water is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer onion mixture and oat mixture to a food processor; add adzuki beans and parsley. Puree until mixture is fully blended. Stir brown rice flour slowly into mixture until fully incorporated. Form mixture into 8 patties.
• Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry patties in the heated oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND LENTIL TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over a medium heat.
• Add in the shredded carrots, zucchini, chopped onions and the garlic powder.
• Stir for a minute two before reducing the heat and letting them sweat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the lentils, mushrooms and fajitas seasoning and cooking, stirring often, over medium heat for another five minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the taco shells in the oven to cook through. The ones that I buy take about 5 minutes so this can be done while the lentils and mushrooms are cooking down.
• Stir the refried beans into the vegetable and lentil mixture until everything is combined and the beans are just warmed through.
• Spoon the lentil and bean mixture into the taco shells and top with shredded cheese.
• Add any of the other toppings you may enjoy and eat as you would a 'normal' taco.

VEGETARIAN BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• In a cast iron or other heavy pot with a cover that can go from stovetop to oven, saute onion, green pepper and cilantro stems on high, stirring constantly, until onion becomes translucent.
• Add oregano, cumin, chili powder and bay leaves and saute another minute.
• Add garlic and salt, saute briefly.
• Add a couple of tablespoons of water to stop garlic from cooking.
• Immediately add beans and salsa, lime juice and hot sauce, and lower heat to medium, stirring frequently.
• When mixture begins bubbling, lower heat again, until just simmering. Stir occasionally and simmer for about ½ hour.
• You may have to add a little water from time to time if mixture begins to dry out.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Chop reserved cilantro leaves.
• Add ½ of the cilantro leaves, the cooked rice and the sour cream. Stir to mix evenly throughout the beans.
• Cover and bake for 35 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven and stir in the other ½ of the reserved cilantro leaves.
• Serve.

ALAN'S VEGETARIAN VEGAN BEAN AND RICE BURGER MASHUP

Steps:

• 1) Soak beans in a large pot, covered (quick soak method: bring to boil, then turn off the heat, leave covered for 1 1/2 hours).
• 2) Drain beans and refill pot with fresh water, cover, bring to a boil again, simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Drain again and let cool at room temperature for at least 5-10 minutes (don't worry about using warm water, we aren't worried about keeping the beans in tact).
• 3) About halfway through the cook time for the beans, start cooking the brown rice. Add 4 cups of water and 2 cups rice to a pot, covered. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30-40 minutes (or as directed on package).
• 4) Combine all seasonings and breadcrumbs in a large bowl (I combined the seasoning in one bowl to mix it, then divided it between 3 large bowls to prepare for the large amount of food this makes).
• 5) Once both the rice and beans have cooled enough to be able to mix by hand, combine the beans and rice (I found that the large pot I used for the beans had enough room to add and mix up the rice).
• 6) Combine all of the dry seasoning with the beans and rice mixture (or if you split the seasoning up between multiple bowls, split up equal amounts of the bean and rice mixture into each bowl).
• 7) Start mashing! I start off using a potato masher, but always end up using my hands to get the beans and rice mashed up enough. Slowly add the picante sauce until you get the right texture for you (I prefer at least 2 pounds in this recipe, use less for a tougher/dryer mix).

VEGAN CHEESY BEANS AND GRAINS

Steps:

• Rinse and toast your quinoa. Add 2 cups of water to the skillet where the quinoa is toasting, and add the barley and bulgar. Cover and simmer on low approximately 30 minutes, or until grains are done to desired texture (I like mine just a touch al dente for this recipe).
• While grains are cooking, puree cheese ingredients until smooth.
• Add cheese to skillet of grains, add beans, mix well. Serve!

VEGAN BLACK BEAN VEGGIE BURGERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth with the help of a potato masher or fork. Stir well with a wooden spoon until the desired texture is achieved.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a small skillet. Add the onions and sauté them until they are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix the sautéed onions into the mashed black beans . Add the crumbled bread slices, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Once the mixture is combined, add the flour a few tablespoons at a time. Your veggie burger mixture will be very thick, so use your hands to work the flour in well to obtain a firm mixture, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Divide the black bean mixture into 4 individual patties, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Roll a patty into a ball, then gently flatten it.
• Use the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil to pan-fry the burgers in a stovetop grill pan or large skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the patties to slightly firm-up and brown on each side, 3 to 5 minutes. If your pan is too hot, the burgers will brown too quickly and not be heated through and cooked in the middle, so adjust the heat as needed.
• Place each veggie burger on a hamburger bun and dress with onion, tomatoes, and lettuce, and your favorite vegan condiments .
