Chef Shayla, another cooking assignment! I usually buy black bean burgers, but I'm defiantly making this next week. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'm really enjoy your channel.

[@ChefShaylaMD]

Awww that is awesome! I love it! I think you'll enjoy. Can't wait to hear how it;goes!!

[@apocalypso3427]

Maaaan, I don't even LIKE plant based food and I'm ready to eat this. That looks amazing! I'm one of those unfortunate people with weak DNA that makes cilantro taste like soap, though, so I'll have to figure out something else for a sauce but dang. Looks fantastic!

[@ChefShaylaMD]

@apocalypso3427 awww so glad you like it! Let me know if you wber make it too. Yes I'm the same with cilantro(by itself its soapy to me) but blended with the other ingredients it's great. You can sub it for parsley instead to still get the color

[@apocalypso3427]

@@ChefShaylaMD I may try it just like you made it to see if maybe the soapy flavor disappears for me as well! When I've had it before, it was always in things like pico de gallo where the flavor was highlighted rather than blended and I'd love to be able to experience some foods with it where I didn't hate the taste. Might as well experiment with this sauce (it seriously looks amazing). I'll be sticking around and watching all your videos for a long time, I think, so I'll definitely update you when I try this one!

Thanks for the video Chef! Is a holding rod better than a knife sharpener? I have a knife sharpener but it doesn’t seem to get my knife very sharp. I also have a glass cutting board which may be dulling my knife.

[@ChefShaylaMD]

@KC-KZbinName Hey! You are most welcome! I would say the honing rod helps keep a knife sharp for longer but it's still key to use a knife sharpener depending on how often you use it. You're right a glass cutting board can often dull the knife

@@ChefShaylaMDok thanks so much for the info!
