Kidney Bean and Quinoa Patties
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1/2 c dry kidney beans1/2 c dry quinoa1 tsp salt (divided)1 tsp pepper1 tsp basil1 tsp oregano2 tsp cumin1/4 c corn starch1 tbsp olive oil (plus some for frying)
soak the kidney beans a few hours ahead of time so they soften up and are easier to cook. i let mine soak for at least 6 hours so they began to sprout, which activates their enzymes and starts breaking down their complex carbohydrates to help you digest them better.
cook the beans with the quinoa in 2 cups of water covered on low heat for about 20-30 minutes until most of the water has cooked off and the beans and quinoa are tender.
let cool for at least 10 minutes.
in a medium sized bowl mash the beans with a potato masher or fork so there arne’t big chunks. mix in the spices, corn starch and oil.
in a medium-sized frying pan heat up some olive oil (i used 1 tablespoon per patty) over medium heat. fry the patties until they are brown on each side, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
you’ll notice the patties will turn a nice toasty brown, not unlike the color of an actual hamburger.
serve immediately or keep warm on a plate in the oven at 200F.
