I am a huge veggie burger lover!! They are so tasty, and they don't make you feel as full and heavy as a real beef burger. Plus, it's a kinder meal ;) .. I get veggie burgers in restaurants all the time, but I have yet to find a patty I really like to eat at home so I decided to make my own. This one is pretty spicy! My husband and I love spice so you may want to make a few changes if you are making this recipe for kids.
Ingredients:
1 can 15 oz black beans drained and rinsed
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup veggie broth
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 green bell pepper
3 tablespoons-ish red onion
2 cloves garlic
3 teaspoons Fiagaro Hickory Smoke Flavor (you could use liquid smoke too)
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
Buns
Any toppings you'd like
Cook the quinoa according to instructions. I did 1/2 cup quinoa with 1 cup veggie broth. Bring it to a boil then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Cut your green bell pepper and onion into slices and put in a chopper or mini food processor with the cloves of garlic. Process until minced. Mash your drained, rinsed black beans with a fork until they are pretty mashed, but you may leave a few whole. Add the minced garlic/onion/pepper mixure and all seasonings and spices. Stir until blended well. Next add the bread crumbs, quinoa and egg, and mix with your hands then form into 4 large patties. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes flipping halfway between. I added a slice of mild cheddar cheese and chipotle barbeque sauce on ours.
Go here for the corn and feta salad. I cut the recipe in half and used the Trader Joes roasted corn and dried cilantro instead of fresh. Those are the only changes I made, and it turned out delicious! I'm going to use the left overs for a southwest salad! Mmmmmm
Cheers, ya'll!
