White Bean & Quinoa Veggie Burger

Image

This is my favourite recipe for veggie burgers. It is clean, healthy and simple.

What you’ll need: Serves 4

1 can cannellini beans ( drained and rinsed)

1/2 cook quinoa

1/2 roasted & chopped peppers

2 gloves of garlic

1/2 gluten free bread crumbs

2 egg whites or 1 egg

dried basil

1/4 teaspoon paprika

half an onion finely chopped

salt & pepper

olive oil

1. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, a few pinches of basil, paprika, onions, and a dash of salt and pepper

2. In a larger bowl, add beans, mash with a fork. Stir in quinoa, garlic, and peppers, mix well. Add in bread crumb mix and egg whites, again mixing well. Once mixed form into 4 equal balls.

3. Press each ball into a patty, making sure the sides are pressed together so they do not fall apart. Heat a frying pan, on medium heat add a drizzle of olive oil , add veggie burgers and cook until golden on each side ( approximately 7 minutes on each side). Then enjoy :)

This is my meal. I served my white bean quinoa veggie burger on top a lettuce bowl with half a sweet potato grilled on the bbq, some bressel sprouts and a mini greek salad which contained cucumbers, cherry tomato’s, kraft greek feta salad dressing and some feta cheese. I don’t eat my burgers with a bun but of course that is always an option :) Enjoy!
