High Vibe Vegan Black Bean and Quinoa Veggie Burger Recipe
These burgers are amazing, delicious, and worth the time and
the effort to create: Vegan and gluten-free. The recipe creates enough
burgers to freeze a few. The burgers are great with
Hävenly GF buns of any kind, and Chef Lance's personal favorite is the Love Bun.  

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 cans organic Black beans drained and rinsed yield 2#

  • 1 cup white quinoa

  • 1 green bell pepper small diced (yield 4 Oz)

  • 1 yellow bell pepper small diced (yield 4 Oz)

  • 1 yellow onion small diced (yield 4 Oz)

  • 1 bunch cilantro leaves plus stems, minced 

  • 1 Oz Himaylayan pink Sea salt (use as needed)

  • ½ tsp of granulated onion

  • 1 tsp of granulated Garlic

  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander

  • 1/2 tsp chili (not spicy)

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  •  3 tbs ground flax seeds mixed with 6 tbs water (flax egg)

  • ½ cup gluten-free flour to dredge burgers in

  • Avocado oil for frying

Preparations

Step 1: Pre-cook 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups water. Cook covered for 20 to 25 minutes, remove and cool the quinoa. Place 1 lb of cooled cooked quinoa in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Drain and rinse canned black beans in cold water 
Step 3: Combine 3 tbs of ground flax seeds with 6 tbs warm water/
Step 4: Sauté diced bell peppers and diced onion in some avocado oil for about 5 min to soften the mix. Sprinkle with the minced cilantro.

Making the Burgers
Place 1.5 lbs of the rinsed black beans in a food processor and add about 8 tbs of water. Pulse until smooth with some bean chunks. Add 0.5 lb rinsed beans and another 8 tbs of water. Pulse until smooth but chunky and use a rubber spatula to move the beans to the bowl with quinoa.

Add the sautéd vegetables along with cilantro and all spices to the mixing bowl with quinoa and beans. Use a rubber spatula to mix thoroughly. 

Form about 8 burger patties that are 3/4 of an inch thick (if you use a kitchen scale weigh each burger to be 5.2 ounces). Dredge each burger in a small bowl with gluten-free flour and pat to remove excess flour. 

Sauté our patties in avocado oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side (alternatively place the burgers on a pan and bake in a 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes). 

Suggested Serving options:  Toast or grill a Hävenly love bun and add lettuce, tomato, avocado, hot sauce and nutritional yeast. 

Enjoy!
