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.

Sweet & Spicy Tomato Pickle - Andhra Style



Day 7 of Tomato Week- For the last day, I decided on a recipe that is used as a longer way to preserve and enjoy summer tomatoes, a traditional South Indian Tomato Pickle. One of the first South Indian culinary techniques I learned from Amma was how to make pickles, Shrimp Pickle to be exact. South Indian Pickles are a great way to preserve produce and are used as an accompaniment to add or enhance flavors in a dish. This sweet, spicy & tangy Tomato Pickle is a delicious addition to idli, dosa or served with piping hot basmati rice.

Here is my recipe:
