Makes 6 burgers
1
tablespoon olive oil, plus more to
brush plates
2
garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼
medium to large onion,
finely chopped
½
teaspoon kosher salt, divided
Pinch freshly ground
black pepper
1
can (15 ounces) black beans,
drained and rinsed
½
chipotle pepper in adobo, chopped,
plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
½
cup water, divided (this is approxi-
mate, you may not need the entire
amount)
1
cup cooked quinoa
½
cup diced carrot
½
cup diced zucchini
¼
cup chopped fresh cilantro
6
hamburger buns
1
avocado, sliced
1.
Put the oil in a medium sauté pan set
over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic,
onion and ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper.
Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5
minutes. Add the black beans, chipotle
and sauce, and enough water to keep
the pan from being dry. Cook until beans
are soft enough where they can be easily
mashed, about 10 minutes, adding
additional water as needed to prevent the
pan from going dry.
2.
Once beans are soft, add the remaining salt,
quinoa, carrot and zucchini. Add additional
water, about 2 to 3 tablespoons, stir, partially
cover and reduce heat to medium-low
and cook until vegetables are just slightly
cooked, about 5 minutes.
3.
Transfer mixture to a Cuisinart
Processor fitted with the chopping blade.
Add the cilantro and pulse 4 to 5 times to
slightly mash the mixture.
4.
Turn on the Cuisinart
Griddle and set to 375ºF.
