Veggie Burgers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
- Add the cooked quinoa, grated carrots, chopped bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Stir in the bread crumbs and chopped parsley until the mixture holds together. If it's too wet, add more bread crumbs; if it's too dry, add a little water.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with oil. Cook the veggie burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Toast the whole wheat burger buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
- Assemble the veggie burgers with your choice of toppings and enjoy!
Veggie burgers have a rich history dating back to the 1980s when health-conscious consumers sought meatless alternatives. Chefs and restaurants across the United States, particularly in California, pioneered the creation of these plant-based patties. The original veggie burgers were often made with a mix of vegetables, grains, and legumes, providing a hearty and nutritious option for vegetarians and vegans. Today, the best veggie burgers can be found in trendy eateries and health-focused restaurants, where chefs experiment with unique ingredients like quinoa, black beans, and mushrooms to create flavorful and satisfying plant-based burgers. Perfecting the texture and seasoning is crucial for a delicious veggie burger, and alternative methods such as grilling or baking offer diverse culinary experiences.
