Scale
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 can (15 oz.) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 onion, medium-sized
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1 small bell pepper
- 1 jalapeno {seeds removed if you want less spice}
- juice of one lemon
- 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook your quinoa and beans, and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the remaining ingredients {excluding the flax, salt, and pepper}. Pulse until chopped, then add the beans. Pulse again until everything is in very fine pieces, but is not one smooth mess. Transfer to a bowl, and mix in the quinoa, then flax seeds, salt, and pepper.
- If the mixture is still very wet, add a flour {oat flour is my favorite for veggie burgers} of your choice a few Tablespoons at a time. The mixture should be dry enough that you can shape it into patties, but wet enough that you'll still have a little bit on your hands.Form all of the dough into patties about 1" thick.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oil if it isn't non-stick, and cook the patties until golden on each side.
- Serve on buns of your choice with greens, tomatoes, and condiments.
