So I decided while Chris is training, I'm going to get back to making new recipes! Of course there is only one spot to find all the best recipes- pintrest. This recipe is from Shape. I really thought it was going to just look better than it tasted, but I was wrong - they were delicious and very filling. The recipe says it makes 3, however I was able to get 4 good sized patties out of the mixture. I also cheated on the guac and just used some that trader joes had made then topped with some premade salsa from whole foods, but i made up for that by going bun less!
They were also just as good heated up for lunch :)
Ingredients:
- For burger:
- 1/3 cup quinoa
- 2/3 cup filtered water
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup canned white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 to 2 tablespoons tahini (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup panko
- 3 sprouted grain hamburger buns
- For crunchy guacamole:
- 2 avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons salsa or pico de gallo
- 2 tablespoons raw pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
Directions:
1. In small pot, combine quinoa and water over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Let quinoa cook for 10 to 15 minutes until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
2. While quinoa cooks, cook sweet potato in a pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes until soft and mashable. When potatoes are finished cooking, combine with white beans in a mixing bowl and smash with a potato masher until well mashed but still retaining a little texture from beans. Add tahini (if using), salt, and spices. Mix well, then add quinoa and fold in with a spatula.
3. Heat a medium-sized pan on the stove to medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Form quinoa-sweet potato mixture into three patties, coat with panko, and cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side until a nice crispy golden brown outer shell is reached.
4. While burgers cook, make guacamole by mashing all ingredients together.
5. To assemble, place burger patty on bottom half of bun and top with guacamole and bun top.
