Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Cook the Quinoa:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
- Add the cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, Parmesan cheese (if using), egg, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands with a little water to make it easier to handle.
- Cook the Burgers:
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
- Serve:
- Serve the quinoa burgers on your favorite buns with toppings of your choice, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a slice of cheese. These burgers also pair well with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad.
Enjoy your homemade quinoa burgers as a healthy and satisfying meal option that everyone will love!
