Vader's Fist Black Bean Burgers

I HAVEN'T MADE THIS RECIPE YET.  JUST UPLOADING IT HERE SO I'LL HAVE MY RECIPE AT HAND WHEN I'M READY TO TRY IT OUT.  WILL UPDATE ONCE IT'S BEEN TESTED.

Adapted from  this delightful recipe  and saved here so it doesn't walk away from me.

Tonight, I made the tofu again (and by the way, it's so good, I'd totally make it by itself and eat it straight from the pan) and made some veggies to go with because, hey, veggies! I expected it to be good. I mean, how could it not be? Tofu prepared  in a way I knew  I liked, served atop foods prepared in a way I know I like - that sounds like a recipe for success, doesn't it? I wasn't expecting it to be this  good, though. The flavors and textures all combine into something that really just ... I don't know. I usually try to be funny in my blog-posts, but this meal is so straight-up unbearably good - and good for  you, when does THAT ever happen - that I'm all out of jokes and really just want to share the recipe with the world. Here it is. Try it. You'll...
