Black Bean Quinoa Burger Recipe

I decided yesterday to totally “wing” it, by creating some vegan burgers without sorting through cook books and magazines. So let this little blog article be “veginspiration” to you that you can actually make a vegan burger without a recipe! But, of course, I will give you this delicious black bean quinoa burger recipe, for your use if you do not feel confident yet to break loose with the creative powers of “vegenius”.  This is a great Meatless Monday recipe and after you get it down you can try variations on this sun dried tomato black bean vegan burger.

Basics Behind This VEGAN BURGERS RECIPE

Consider the basics of vegan burgers: grain, yumminess, healthiness, texture, tasty ingredients, savory spices and the ability to make the burger patty stick together, rather than crumble.

Choose your flavor scheme and make a broth to cook your grain in. Example: I used vegan bouillon (Garden Broth, Not-Chicken Bouillon cubes); basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pinch of cayenne (for a kick). Just make a tasty broth choosing your theme flavor by selecting spices. You could do Thai, Italian, Indian, or just savory garden flavor. Your choice!

If you want to make this into a spicy black bean burger recipe, you will want to include a little spice mix. I would suggest 1 tbsp chili powder and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper powder.

First, choose 1 or more grains: millet, rice, quinoa, bulgar, for example. Then choose a bean: garbanzo, black beans, or lentils. Finally, choose a binder: bread crumbs, cous cous, or most popular quick oats.

For added texture and taste (optional) choose any: sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, artichokes, olives, nuts, onions, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno. Sauteed. Be creative.
