This black bean burger recipe is made with cooked quinoa and is perfect. If you are a meat eater you will not miss the meat when you make this much healthier burger. I promise! 

I am making these Banh Mi style with Vietnamese pickled veggies but that is optional. These are great with a salad. You decide. Deliciousness.

How to Cook Quinoa Video -- https://youtu.be/W9fn-ddl6OA

Makes six burgers

FOR THE PICKLED VEGGIES:
1 cup julienne carrots
1 cup julienne daikon radish
½ cup warm water
2 tsp. rice or distilled vinegar
1 to 1.5 tsp. sugar or agave (depending on how sweet you want the vegetables)
1 tsp. salt

Place the carrots and daikon radish in a bowl.

Mix the water with the vinegar, sugar and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve and pour over the vegetables.  Mix to coat and press the veggies into the liquid.  Allow sitting for 2 hours. You can make this in advance and keep it in the refrigerator in a closed jar for up to 3 weeks.  Make sure the jar is closed tightly or the daikon will make it smell weird. 

FOR THE PATTIES:
2 cups cooked and well drained black beans (If using canned drain and rinse)
1 cup cooked quinoa (1/4 cup uncooked) 
1 large garlic clove – minced
2 scallions – white, light and dark green chopped
¾ cup breadcrumbs (more if your mixture is too sticky)
½ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. crushed red chili peppers (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Place the beans in a bowl and mash about half of them with a fork.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.  If you find that the mixture is too soft or sticky add a little more breadcrumbs. 

Wash your hands and form the patties.  Make them as big as you want.  Place them in the fridge for about 20 minutes before cooking them.  You can also freeze these. I place them in little baggies – individually – and thaw them on the counter about an hour before cooking them.  They are perfect. 

FINISH THE BURGERS:
Oil
6 burger buns
Cucumber slices
Cilantro sprigs


Heat the oil in a skillet and add the patties.  Brown well on the bottom and carefully flip.  Cook until the other side is browned as well and the patty is warm.  

Place some cucumber slices on the bottom part of a bun and top with the browned black bean patty.  Top with some of the pickled vegetables and the cilantro and cover with the rest of the bun. 

I do not add condiments to this but feel free to add whatever you like.  Enjoy.
