VEGETARIAN BURGERS
Photography by Barry Frankel Recipe Adapted from edible Hawaiian IslandsThe shelf-stable ingredients in these burgers make them a go-to for storms, when grocery store shelves may be left bare, but they’re also delicious enough to be eaten all year round. They are easy to make and you can substitute any combination of canned beans and starch that you may have on hand.
