Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Bean Mixture

    In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Stir in the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Egg and Form Patties

    Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the black bean mixture. Mix until fully incorporated. Shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Scallion Aioli Preparation

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped scallions, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
