Quinoa Veggie Burger Recipe

Quinoa Veggie Burger It’s that time of the year again.  Time to brush off the BBQ grills and fire them up.  With Memorial Day quickly approaching I wanted to find a good veggie burger recipe for my honey, Christina, to try and hopefully like. One of my readers had sent this in to me a while back but they did not know who’s recipe it was so if anyone knows where this originated just leave a comment so I can give them some credit.

Spicy Chickpea Barley and Quinoa Veggie Burger
Ingredients

1 small sweet potato, baked
1/4 cup dry quinoa
1/4 cup dry barley
15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons parsley
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if you do not like super spicy food you might want to tone this down a bit)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 fresh red peppers

Directions

  1. Peel, dice, and steam the sweet potato until soft.
  2. Cook the quinoa and barley in separate pots.
  3. Remove the stem and seeds from the red peppers. Cut the whole pepper in quarters, the half a pepper in half, and roast all six pieces in the oven or on the grill.
  4. While the grains and pepper are cooking, in a food processor, combine garbanzo beans, sweet potato, parsley, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt and pepper, flour, and one tablespoon oil.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the bean mixture with the quinoa and barley.
  6. Using hands, form into six patties.
  7. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a pan on medium heat. Brown both sides of each burger. Serve on a bun with melted cheese (optional) and a quarter of the roasted pepper.
