Sweet Potato, Bean and Quinoa Burgers
Ingredients
Burgers
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 can red kidney beans
- 1/3 glass quinoa (I used red, but regular works too)
- 1 sprig rosemary
- chili flakes
- olive oil
Red Onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large red onions
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 250 ml red wine
Yogurt-Herb Sauce
- 250 g yogurt (Greek or vegan)
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise (vegan)
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 3 tablespoons chopped herbs and parsley
- 1/2 clove garlic
- a pinch of chili flakes
Guacamole
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 small clove garlic
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- optional - fresh cilantro
And
- 4 burger buns
- lettuce
Preparation
- Wash the sweet potato and cut into slices about 2 cm thick, season with salt and pepper, add the rosemary leaves and a pinch of chili flakes, and coat with olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish and bake at 210°C for about 25-30 minutes. Once baked, remove the skin, put the flesh in a bowl, and mash with a fork.
- Drain the beans in a sieve, rinse, and drain thoroughly. Add to the bowl with the sweet potato and mash with a fork.
- Put the quinoa in a pot, rinse and drain, then add fresh water to a level 1 cm above the quinoa. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed. Add to the bowl with the sweet potato and beans.
- Combine all the ingredients, season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Shape into 4 patties. Coat with olive oil and bake in an oven preheated to 210°C for about 20 minutes.
Tips
The burgers don't have to be served in a bun - you can serve them with vegetable side dishes, such as coleslaw, or cooked vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or a mix of different vegetables.
