This is the recipe I make when someone tells me they could never go plant-based because they would miss real food. It's hearty, satisfying, sticks-to-your-ribs filling — and the cashew cheese on top is the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you ever needed dairy at all.
Make a double batch. The patties freeze beautifully and the cashew cheese will become a staple of your fridge.
Why it works. Sweet potato gives the body slow-burning carbohydrates that fuel you for hours. Black beans bring fiber and plant protein together in one bite. Cashews — rich in healthy fats and minerals — make the cheese feel like an indulgence. This is what whole-food eating looks like when it isn't afraid to be filling.
