The black bean burger recipe & nutrition facts

Black Bean Burgers with Taste... Brought to you by Sarah

Ingredients

• 1/3 c. quinoa
• 2/3 c. vegetable stock
• 1 c. dry whole wheat pasta (penne, rigatoni, macaroni, etc.)
• One 14.5 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 t. soy sauce
• 2 t. vegan Worcestershire sauce - I didn't know this wasn't vegan and ended up using some ketchup, mustard and blackstrap molasses, ginger, onion powder and garlic powder aka N's homemade Worcestershire.
• 2 T. minced onion
• 1 t. minced garlic
• 3 T. hummus
• 2 t. lemon juice
• 1 T. nutritional yeast
• 4 whole wheat buns, split
• lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and any other trimmings of your choice.

Instructions

• Combine quinoa and vegetable broth in a small pot and bring to a boil.
• Cover, lower heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
• In another small pot, bring several cups of water to a boil and add pasta. Cook pasta for 15-20 minutes. You want pasta to be overcooked as this starch will help hold the patties together.
• When pasta is finished, drain and add with black beans, soy sauce, Worchestshire sauce, onion and garlic to a food processor or high speed blender and blend until mixture is almost smooth.
• Add quinoa to mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine hummus, lemon juice and nutritional yeast.
• Score bean mixture into four sections. Break each section into two, with one section being slightly larger.
• You will probably want to spray your platter with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Press the larger portion into a patty and top with approximately one tablespoon of the “cheese.”
• Form the smaller portion into another smaller patty and place atop the “cheese,” sealing the edges.
• Cook the patties over medium-high heat in a large skillet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cook for 6-7 minutes and then carefully flip,
• cooking for another 4-5 minutes, until burger is browned and cooked through.
• Serve burgers atop buns with trimmings of your choice.
