INGREDIENTS
2 cans Black Beans (425g total, drained)
1 cup Cooked Quinoa (185g)
200g Tempeh
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
2 Large Eggs
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
4 tbsp Chia Seeds
1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo
1 small Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/2 medium Red Onion, diced
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the black beans. In a large bowl, mash them slightly, leaving some texture.
Crumble the tempeh and add it to the bowl along with the cooked quinoa and lentils.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and mix in the rolled oats and chia seeds. Let sit for a couple minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken slightly.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, red onion, and mince the garlic. Add these to the bean mixture.
Chop the chipotle pepper finely and add it along with the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg and oats mixture into the larger bowl. Stir everything thoroughly until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 equal patties. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little extra rolled oats; if too dry, a splash of water or a beaten egg can help bind it better.
Lightly oil a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a nice crispy exterior forms and they are heated through.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy these flavorful burgers on their own or in a whole grain bun with your favorite toppings.
