Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Mash Black Beans

    In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of drained and rinsed black beans. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the beans until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    To the mashed black beans, add the cooked quinoa, 0.5 cups of finely diced bell pepper, 0.5 cups of finely chopped onion, 2 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp of ground cumin, 1 tsp of paprika, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Sprinkle 0.5 cups of flour (or breadcrumbs) into the mixture, adding a little at a time until the mixture holds together. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    In a skillet, heat 2 tbs of olive oil over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    Lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a veggie patty. Top with sliced tomato, sliced avocado, and sliced red onion.

  3. 8

    Condiments

    Finish by adding ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the bun on each burger.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve the veggie burgers immediately with a side of your choice.
