Alfalfa'S Black Bean And Quinoa Burger - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
    3/4 cup quinoa, dry
    1/2 red bell pepper, minced
    1/2 green bell pepper, minced
    1 medium red onion, minced
    1/2 bunch green onion, minced
    1/2 bunch cilantro, minced
    1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon cumin
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    4 tablespoons louisiana hot sauce
    1/2 cup gluten-free flour
    1/2 tablespoon egg substitute
    2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
    In a strainer, rinse quinoa well. Drain. Combine the raw quinoa with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil uncovered. When it starts to boil, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is light and fluffy. NOTE: When found in nature, quinoa has a coating of bitter-tasting saponins. These occur naturally in the quinoa to prevent insects from eating the plant. Most packaged quinoa will be pre-washed; however it is always a good idea to wash the quinoa again just in case. Fluff with fork, allow to cool. Combine the beans, quinoa, bell peppers, onions, cilantro, and seasonings in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the gluten-free flour and egg replacer then mix thoroughly again. Mash everything to consistency. Form into patties and cook in a little bit of oil on medium high heat until heated through and golden brown.
