Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans drained
- 3/4 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/3 cup almond flour Or coarsely crushed walnuts, or use coarsely ground sunflower seeds for nuttree
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- zest of a lime
- 1/4 cup of flour of choice (4 tbsp) (all purpose, or a mix of 2 of oat/rice/chickpea for Glutenfree)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash half of the black beans really well. Add the rest of the ingredients except flour and mix in. Mash and mix. (You can also add 2 tbsp finely chopped onion and half a green chili minced here for variation.) Add 3 tbsp flour and mix in. Chill for 15-20 minutes.
- If the mixture is still wet add another tablespoon of flour and mix in. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Shape into patties and pan fry for 4-6 mins per side over medium heat. (For additional crisp and less sticking , lightly dust the patties in flour before pan frying). Bake: place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 425 deg c(220 c) for 20 mins.
- Serve in a bowl or on lettuce leaves or make a burger with greens, tomato slices, onion and barbecue sauce or Vegan ranch sauce and pickled jalapeño.Store: in the refrigerator for upto 4 days. Freeze for upto a month. Reheat on the skillet or bake.
Notes
- Homemade burger patties are not the same as store-bought ones, which contain a lot of additives to make them that sturdy.These quinoa burger patties are softer and get sturdy on cooking
- Note that canned beans can be inconsistent in texture. Some are super dry and starchy, so if that's the case you might not need to add any additional flour.
- You may freeze the patties in a freezer-proof container for 1 month.
- Instead of Cajun seasoning, you can simply blend each 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, and 1/4 tsp each of cayenne and thyme.
- If you’re cutting back on carbs, wrap up that burger patty in a large piece of crisp butter lettuce, top it with smashed avocado, and a drizzle of sriracha sauce
