Ingredients | Quinoa Veggie Burger

2 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon hoisin sauce

½ teaspoon sesame oil

1 cup uncooked quinoa

1 cup canned black beans - drained, rinsed, and mashed

2 eggs

1 slice bread

2 tablespoons water

1 small clove garlic, minced

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

3 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed

Directions

Bring vegetable broth, hoisin, and sesame oil to a boil in a saucepan; add quinoa. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Combine black beans, eggs, bread, water, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; mash thoroughly. Add 1 1/2 cup cooled quinoa and mix well.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form each burger patty using about 1/2 cup of the burger mixture; transfer to the skillet. Cook until golden brown; about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel-lined dish.

Substitute beef broth for vegetable broth, if desired.

Substitute garlic powder for minced garlic, if desired.
