Even though I'm a vegetarian doesn't mean I don't love a good burger! I've never been a huge fan of frozen vegetarian "meat" substances. They're full of so many things I can't even pronounce! I've tried a few different variations of veggie burgers before, but this one may be *the* one. Not to mention it's chocked full of protein. Can't beat that!
Black Bean and Quinoa Burgers
Makes 4 patties
Ingredients:
1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups black beans
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup bell pepper, minced
1/4 cup onion, minced
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
1. Cook the quinoa in 1/2 cup of water as directed on the package. While the quinoa is cooking, mash the black beans and egg in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher.
2. Once beans are mashed and combined with the egg, add in the additional ingredients. Mix well and score the mixture into four equal parts; make into patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3-5 minutes per side. Or, wrap individually in Saran Wrap and freeze. Enjoy!
