Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    In a small pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Mash Black Beans

    In a large bowl, mash 1 cup of black beans until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed black beans. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.

Assemble Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet or in a toaster until golden.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.

  3. 8

    Add Patty
