Ingredients

  • For the burgers:
  • 8 gluten free hamburger buns
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup cannelini beans drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs gluten free
  • 1 egg
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Caramelized Onions:
  • 2 yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup beer gluten free
  • For the Chipotle Lime "Mayo" :
  • 6 oz plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 lime juice and zest
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise like Vegenaise
  • 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper or more, to taste
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cook quinoa according to package directions.
  • While quinoa is cooking, place beans in a large bowl, and mash well with a fork. Add in cooked quinoa, cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, paprika, coriander, and salt & pepper. Mix well with hands. Form into 8 patties, place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • To make chipotle lime mayo, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, chipotle pepper, and salt together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Caramelize onions by melting butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add in onions and cook for about 15 minutes, or until all the onion are softened. Add in beer, and cook, stirring frequently, until all the beer has evaporated. Place onions into separate bowl and set aside.
  • Lightly mist it a large skillet with an olive oil mister or cooking spray and set over medium high (I just use the same skillet). Place quinoa patties into the heated pan, and cook until golden and browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer cooked burgers to a plate, and then place burger buns face down on skillet to toast the inside of the buns a bit, about 1minute.
  • Assemble burgers by placing one patty on each bun, topping it with about 1 tablespoon of chipotle lime mayo, and equal amounts of caramelized onions.
