Vegetarian Black Bean Quinoa Burgers
Ingredients:
2 (15 oz) cans black
beans rinsed and strained
1 shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1-2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to
taste
Grated peel and juice
of 1 lime
2 tsp hot sauce of
choice
1 ¼ cup cooked quinoa
1 egg white
Gluten-free flour (as
needed)
Instructions:
1.
Reserve ½ cup black beans, and set
aside.
2.
Add the remaining beans, shallot,
garlic, spices, grated lime peel, lime juice, and hot sauce into the bowl of a
food processor fit with a steel blade.
Process until the mixture is the texture of a very chunky puree.
3.
Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl
4.
Add the remaining beans, cooked quinoa,
and egg white, and stir together to form your ”dough”. If the dough feels too sticky and isn’t
holding together as you shape the patties, add some gluten-free flour 1 tbl at a time, until they are easier to
shape (it will still be sticky)
5.
Shape mixture into 6 patties, and chill in the
refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
6.
Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet
with tin foil or parchment paper. Transfer burgers to baking sheet.
7.
Bake 20-30 minutes, (carefully) flipping
halfway through until both sides are browned.
8.
Let rest for 5 minutes then serve.
