Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Add chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, black beans, breadcrumbs, cumin, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    In the same skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Cook patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the veggie burgers on buns with lemon aioli and fries. Add a slice of vegan cheese if desired.
