High-Protein Veggie Burger with Beans and Quinoa

Method

1. Prepare the flax egg – In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
2. Mash the beans – In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked beans, leaving some texture.
3. Mix the ingredients – Add quinoa, walnuts, oats, grated carrot, onion, garlic, tamari, nutritional yeast, and spices to the bowl. Mix well.
4. Add the flax egg – Stir in the flax mixture and combine until the mixture is cohesive and firm.
5. Form the patties – Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
6. Chill (optional but recommended) – Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
7. Cook the patties – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve – Enjoy on a whole grain bun or lettuce wrap with toppings like avocado, tomato, and mustard.
