Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 cups of cooked quinoa
    2 cups of black beans (Canned is fine as long as it is organic, no sodium. If you're using dried, rinse your beans and soak them overnight and drain when ready to use.)
    1.5 cups of organic low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
    1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
    1/4 teaspoon of cumin
    2 cloves of garlic, minced
    salt & pepper

Directions

* While you are cooking your quinoa, combine the black beans, turmeric, cumin, and broth in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low, cover partially, and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Drain the beans.
* In a large bowl combine the beans, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. When the ingredients are well combined (mashed), add in the quinoa and combine. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
*Form the mixture into patties. Depending on how big or small you make them, you should get around 5-7 patties.
*Heat a large non-stick frying pan sprayed with Pam over medium heat. Add the cakes (maybe 3-4 at a time depending on the size of your pan) turning over once it has browned (about 5-7 minutes per side).
