Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C. Place the quinoa and water in a saucepan and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat so that it's simmering. Cook until all the water has been absorbed by the quinoa, then fluff it up with a fork.
- Drain and rinse the kidney beans and place them in a large bowl. Mash thoroughly with a fork.
- Dice the onion and saute on a medium heat with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to become translucent. Mince the garlic clove and add to the pan, stir it around and cook for a further minute.
- Add the chilli powder and cumin to the onion mix and cook for 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant. Add the whole mixture to the bowl with the beans.
- Also add the quinoa into the bean bowl with the soy sauce and mix everything together. If desired, season with a little salt and pepper.
- Shape the mixture into 4 burgers about 1 inch thick. Place on a flat baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 minutes. Then, carefully flip the burgers using a spatula and bake for another 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for around 5 minutes before serving.
- Top with your favourite burger toppings in a bun of your choice!
Bean Burger can be paired with Pinot Noir and Tempranillo. Since veggie burgers are usually lean, you'll want low to medium tannin wines. Pinot noir is a great choice. Another option is Spanish tempranillo, which pairs nicely with the earthy flavors you might have from beans, lentils, mushrooms, etc. The Premonition Cellars Pinot Noir with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
