Homemade Veggie Burgers
Last week, I shared a quick and easy recipe for classic burger patties. Today, for Meatless Mondays, I’d like to share my latest iteration of the quinoa burger. (I had previously shared a recipe I’ve tried here.)
| Quinoa Sweet Potato Chickpea Burgers 1 cup quinoa, cooked (that is to say 1 cup dry quinoa, cooked per regular directions) 1 cup mashed sweet potato (I find roasting or steaming works well) 1 can chickpeas, mashed 1 egg OR 1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds mixed with 3 Tbsp water 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp ground pepper 1/2 tsp salt Combine all ingredients well. Scoop 1/3 cup of the mixture into your hand and shape into a ball. Flatten into a 1 inch patty.Grill in a frying pan or, if on the grill, on a piece of aluminum foil. Serves 8 to 10. |
I like to serve my burgers on potato buns with cheese or lettuce and tomato. Try harissa or Sriracha for a kick. Try caramelized onions for a sweeter take.
