Quinoa and Black Bean Burgers
- 1 can black beans (540 ml), drained and rinsed
- 1 onion
- 2 cups quinoa, cooked
- ½ cup sunflower seeds, finely ground
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos (or tamari)
- 2 tablespoon grape seed oil
- 2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
- In a food processor, purée onion and black beans until smooth.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: ground sunflower seeds, brown rice flower, nutritional yeast, oregano, garlic, mustard and pepper.
- Transfer black beans into a large mixing blow.
- Mix black beans with Braggs sauce and grape seed oil.
- Gradually incorporate dry ingredients, mixing well.
- Shape into 2 to 2.5 inches patties. I used approximately 3-4 tablespoon of mixture for each patty.
- Place patties on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the patties and bake for another 5 minutes to brown the other side of the patty.
- Serve warm on a burger bun or as a main course.
