Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (1 can) No Added Salt Black Beans
- ¾ cup cooked Quinoa (slightly overcooked is better)
- ½ cup Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs (or gluten free option)
- ¼ cup minced Mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp minced Red Onion
- 2 Tbsp minced Sundried Tomatoes (not in oil)
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Ground Flax
- ½ tsp dried Basil
- ½ tsp Paprika
- ¼ tsp dried Oregano
- (Optional) ⅛ tsp each Salt and Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil, for pan frying
For serving:
- Whole grain buns or large lettuce leaves for wraps
- Sliced red onion
- Sliced tomato
- Leafy lettuce
- Mustard, ketchup, etc.
Instructions
-
Combine all the burger ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until everything is chopped small. You don’t want it to turn into a paste. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together easily.
-
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Meanwhile, divide the bean mixture into 4 equal portions, and form them into patties, about ½ inch thick, or whatever size is reasonable for your bun size.
-
Pan fry the patties over medium heat, about 5 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn them. Flip carefully to avoid smashing the patties.
-
Serve hot, on whole grain buns or in lettuce wraps, with condiments, and veggies as desired.
