Ingredients List
- 1 cup dry red kidney beans (rajma)
- 1 cup quinoa
- ¼ cup chickpea flour, also known as besan or garbanzo bean flour
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 cup packed kale leaves, minced
- 4 leaves of sage, minced. (Sage adds a great smokiness, but you can also use coriander leaves here.)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced or grated
- 1 tbsp tamari, or you can use regular soy sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper or paprika (use cayenne for more heat)
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp vegetable oil like olive or canola, and an oil spray to cook the burgers
Directions
To cook the quinoa, rinse under cold water and then place in a saucepan with 2 cups of water and garam masala. Add salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and let the quinoa cook until it has absorbed most of the water. Place a tight-fitting lid on the saucepan and continue to cook on low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside.
To cook the beans, it is always better to soak them overnight but you can get away with no soaking if you have a pressure cooker. If you do, just follow your manufacturer”™s instructions to get beans that are squishable but not falling apart. Otherwise, place the soaked beans in a large saucepan, cover with at least an inch of water, bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for about an hour until tender.
Heat 1 tsp of oil in a large saucepan.
Add the carrot, onion, kale, sage, and garlic. Add the tamari, mustard, coriander and cumin powders and the cayenne. Saute on medium-high heat about 5-8 minutes or until the mixture is dry and doesn”™t taste raw anymore. Stir in the tomato paste and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground black pepper and cooked beans and mix well. Using a potato masher, squish some of the beans. You don”™t want this mixture to be too smooth”“ your burger will benefit from some texture.Add the chickpea flour and stir for another couple of minutes. You want the bean mixture to be quite dry and without any visible moisture, or your patties won”™t hold together.Add the quinoa and mix well. Check for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Heat a griddle and spray with some oil. Moisten your hands in a water bath and form the patties. You can get about eight really big patties and 10 good-sized ones from this recipe.
Place the patties on the skillet and cook on each side until browned.
You can freeze these patties once they have cooled. Separate each patty with wax paper before freezing. When you are ready to grill, just throw the frozen patty on the grate and heat through.
