Quinoa Veggie Burger Recipe
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.
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
- Peel, dice, and steam the sweet potato until soft.
- Cook the quinoa and barley in separate pots.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, mix the bean mixture with the quinoa and barley.
- Using hands, form into six patties.
- 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.
