Because we had some left over quinoa from dinner the night before I thought I’d try a new burger recipe. Marty loves burgers. I’m fairly certain I could make anything shaped like a burger and Marty would think it was great. This one did come out good plus it was really easy and it’s on “Marty’s Picks.” A winner all around!
What you’ll need:
-1 ½ cups cooked (or soaked/sprouted) black beans (if you use canned ones be sure to drain & rinse them first)
-2 medium sized carrots (peeled)
-1/2 medium red bell pepper
-1/2 cup cooked quinoa
-1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
-1/2 tsp. cumin
-1/4 tsp. coriander
-1/4 tsp. ground ginger
-1/4 tsp. cayenne
-salt & pepper to taste
Serve on rolls with lettuce, tomato, avocado and whatever condiments you
like.
What’s Next:
-Put the cooked black beans in a medium sized bowl and mash them up some with a hand masher- they don’t need to be completely mashed
-In a food processor, pulse chop up the carrots and red pepper together until they are in small pieces
-Add the carrots, red pepper, quinoa, and bread crumbs to the bowl with the beans and combine
-In a small bowl mix all the spices together then distribute evenly in the bowl with the beans, ect..
-Combine everything together using your hands, then form into patties
-If saving for later, wrap the burgers in parchment paper and place in a zip lock bag in the fridge
-For cooking, heat a pan over medium/high heat with a splash of oil. Or broil in the oven
-Cook burgers for 2-3 minutes on each side and serve while hot
*Makes 4 Marty size burgers*
