Quinoa Veggie Burger - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa
1 carrot, diced
4 scallions, sliced
2 garlic cloves
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

In a small pot, bring 3/4 cup water to a boil. Add quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, 12 to 14 minutes; set aside.
In a food processor, pulse carrot until finely chopped. Add cooked quinoa, scallions, garlic, beans, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, salt, and pepper; pulse until combined but still slightly chunky.
Form mixture into four patties. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium; cook burgers until browned, about 8 minutes per side.
