What You Need
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 jalapenos, roughly chopped - pith and seeds removed
- 2 carrots, scrubbed and roughly chopped
- 3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- 3 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups quick cooking oats
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder or minced garlic
- ½ onion, minced
- 1-2 tsps seasoning salt (or regular salt to taste)
- 2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- Cooking oil, as needed (I use coconut or peanut oil)
How to Do It
- Add quinoa to pot with water, and bring to boil. Cover and simmer until done, about 15 minutes.
- Put jalapenos, carrots, celery and onion into food processor. Grind into small bits.
- While quinoa is cooking, put beans into a large bowl and mash thoroughly. Try using a pastry blender - the sharp edges really get in there and do a great job breaking up the tough outer coating of the beans. Add spices (and minced garlic if you used it), and distribute thoroughly through beans.
- Once quinoa is cooked, put quinoa, veggies, and oats into bowl with the beans and mix thoroughly with large spoon.
- Add ground flax, and mash all ingredients together with hands. Really dig in there and squish the ingredients together.
- Take one handful of mixture and shape into a patty about ½" thick; repeat until all mixture is used (should make 15-18 patties).
- Place into hot oil and brown to golden on each side.
- Serve on bun with lettuce, tomato, vegan cheese, and your usual burger condiments.
