  • Yield: 3 Servings
  • Preparation Time: 40 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry black beans
  • ½ cup dry quinoa
  • ½ purple onion (chopped)
  • ¼ cup bell pepper (any color, seeded and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 4-6 large leaves of lettuce
  • Roasted sesame seeds (optional)
How to Make It
  1. Prepare the beans. Prepare the quinoa. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, and then add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Sauté until the ingredients begin to soften, for about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down for about 10 minutes.
  3. Once the veggies have cooled down, put them in a food processor along with the cooked beans, quinoa, flour, and remaining spices; pulse until it’s a chunky mixture.
  4. Lay out a pan covered with parchment paper and form the blended mixture into 6 evenly-sized patties.
  5. Place the patties on the pan and place them in the freezer for about 5 minutes to prevent crumbling.
  6. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over high heat and add the burgers.
  7. Cook the patties until they have browned, for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Serve each burger wrapped in a lettuce leaf (or burger bun) and, if desired, top with the optional roasted sesame seeds. Alternatively, store to enjoy later.
