Black Bean & Squash Veggie Burgers

We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

Shrimp Beignets



The first time I had these Shrimp Beignets was in a hole in the wall restaurant in New Orleans that sold dishes with every local kind of fish, reptile, amphibian, and crustacean. These flavorful shrimp fritters reminded me of Salt Cod Fritters - Bacalaítos, which is no surprise, owing to the city's rich, culturally diverse culinary traditions. While the Caribbean influence in these savory morsels is evident, they definitely hold their own. Louisiana hot sauce and yellow cornmeal give these fritters a spicy uniquely southern twist. Here is my version of this recipe:
