How to Prepare Black Bean Burgers [Vegan, Gluten-free]

  1. Cook your beans, if not using canned, and the grains. I just made the amount of rice and quinoa that I usually make (1 cup dry plus the appropriate amount of liquid) and had a bunch leftover which is great for future meals.
  2. Combine one cup of the black beans with the remaining ingredients in a food processor, EXCEPT the onion, salsa, one cup of beans and ½ cup quinoa. Process until just combined. Don't over-process.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the remaining beans, quinoa, salsa and onions. Make sure you drain most of the liquid off of your salsa if it's really watery.
  4. Shape into four equal sized burgers. You can make them smaller if you prefer. I like a big burger. Let the burgers rest for about 20 minutes prior to cooking. You could also make them ahead and keep them in the fridge for a day or so before cooking.
  5. Cook on the stovetop on medium-low heat in a non-stick pan for about 8 minutes on each side. You could also bake them but I haven't done this yet so I'm not sure of the time they'd need. I'm guessing about 15-20 minutes on each side at 350° F.
  6. Enjoy with your favorite accompaniments!
