Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1 cup canned black beans – drained, rinsed, and mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1 slice bread
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed

Directions

Bring vegetable broth, hoisin, and sesame oil to a boil in a saucepan; add quinoa. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

Combine black beans, eggs, bread, water, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; mash thoroughly. Add 1 1/2 cup cooled quinoa and mix well.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form each burger patty using about 1/2 cup of the burger mixture; transfer to the skillet. Cook until golden brown; about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel-lined dish.
