To prepare, cook the frozen patties directly from the freezer. They can be pan-fried in a skillet with a little oil over medium heat until heated through and nicely browned on both sides. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven on a baking sheet until crispy and warm, or grilled on a barbecue for a smoky flavor. Ensure the patties are cooked thoroughly before serving. They are excellent served on a bun with your favorite toppings or added to a salad for extra substance.
How it differs from similar foods
Their flavor is derived from the black beans and seasonings, which can vary from brand to brand, providing a less dense and often earthier taste compared to meat.
