Black bean and courgette patties

These black bean and courgette patties are perfect for a spicy vegan or vegetarian burger, just add the usual condiments. I prefer wrapping them in tortilla with salsa and chilli sauce. Perfect for laid-back parties, summer barbecues etc. If you make the patties small, they make nice party nibbles or appetizers too!
