Quinoa & White Bean Veggie Burger [Burgers] Ingredients (makes four patties) | |
1/2 cup | quinoa,, (I used tri-color) |
1 cup | water |
1 teaspoon | garlic powder |
3 teaspoons | thyme, divided (oregano would be good too) |
1/2 - 1 teaspoon | smoked paprika |
1/2 teaspoon | ground chipotle pepper, optional |
1 can (15 oz.) | white beans,, (I used cannellini), drained and rinsed |
1/2 cup | corn, fresh or frozen,, (about 1/2 fresh corn off the cob) |
1/2 cup | red bell pepper, finely diced (about 1/2 bell pepper) |
1/2 cup | shallot, finely diced (about 1 medium) or red onion |
juice of one | lemon |
1/3 cup | oat flour, or flour of choice |
1 Ener-G egg replacer or 1 flax egg (1 Tbs flaxseed meal + 3 Tbs water), optional* mineral salt & cracked pepper, to taste coconut or olive oil, to grease To Serve: | |
tomato, sliced | |
leafy greens | |
avocado, sliced or mashed | |
red onion, sliced |
whole grain or dijon mustard (hummus or vegan mayo is great too)
sriracha or Sriracha Cashew Cream (use the sriracha cream in place of mustard)
burger buns of choice
Start by making your flax egg or ener-g egg replacer and set aside. If baking in the oven, turn oven to 375 degrees F. (It's helpful to read instructions first before making the patties)
In a medium pot, bring water, quinoa, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon thyme to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Once done, remove cover and let set for 10 minutes.
While quinoa is cooking, prepare your corn, shallot and red pepper. Be sure to dice your onion and red pepper fairly fine, they should be about the same size as the corn kernels.
Next, mash your beans. I mashed about 3/4 of the beans leaving a quarter of the batch whole or somewhat whole.
Once quinoa is ready, add the quinoa to the beans along with the shallots, red pepper, corn, remaining 2 teaspoons thyme, smoked paprika and optional chipotle powder and lemon juice. Mix well. Add in the flour and egg replacer, mix well again. Season to taste with salt, pepper and more of the other spices. We all vary on how strong we like our spices...you can't take out but you can always put in.
Now to divide and make your patties. I like to pat my mixture into the bowl a little and divide it with a knife into 4 sections, making a plus sign if you will. Take each section and pack it tightly into a ball in the palm of your hands. It should be about the size of your hand. Flatten with your palms and place on hard surface. Cup the edges with your palms and tighten them in a bit and flatten the top to the desired size. Mine were about 1/2 inch thick by 3 1/2 - 4 inches.
Cook one of two ways:
In the oven at 375 degrees on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet for 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. I also added a sprinkle of himalayan salt to the top before baking.
OR
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil over medium to medium high heat. Cook patties about 4 - 5 minutes on each side.
I cooked both ways and had no preference. They both held up well and cooked great. (pic shows skillet cooked)
Serve on bun or bed of leafy greens with choice of toppings!
Notes:
The patties can be made ahead of time and stored covered in the refrigerator for a couple days prior to cooking.
*I have a sneaky feeling that this can be made without the use of any egg replacer if you don't have it available. I have it here for good measure until I try without (in the comments you will see that it has been done). If you decide not to use an egg replacer, when adding the flour, just try adding two - three tablespoons of water instead if needed...the amount may depend on the flour you're using.
For mashed avocado, cut open avocado, remove seed and using a fork, mash the flesh right in the skin...it's like a bowl. Spread on bun for a great creamy condiment!
