Sun-Dried Tomato, Basil, And White Bean Burgers Recipe

Name: Sun-Dried Tomato, Basil, And White Bean Burgers
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 egg; 1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained (I used navy!); 1 cup cooked quinoa; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons (heaping! you can't have too many, to be honest) roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes (I had the dry kind, rather than the sort packed in oil, and I used 8 tomatoes); 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice; 1/2 cup packed fresh basil, chopped; 3 teaspoons flour (most anything will work -- I used rice flour but all-purpose is perfect); 1/3 cup grated Parmesan; big pinch chili powder; salt and freshly ground pepper

Servings: persons

1 egg
1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained (I used navy!)
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons (heaping! you can't have too many, to be honest) roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes (I had the dry kind, rather than the sort packed in oil, and I used 8 tomatoes)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup packed fresh basil, chopped
3 teaspoons flour (most anything will work -- I used rice flour but all-purpose is perfect)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
big pinch chili powder
salt and freshly ground pepper

1
Crack egg into a large bowl and beat well. Add the beans and, using a potato masher or the back of a big wooden spoon, mash them together with the egg until relatively smooth but with some chunks remaining.
2
Fold in the cooked quinoa. Then add the rest of the ingredients (...all of them. Get Oprah about it: You go in the bowl! And you go in the bowl! Yikes sorry I'll see myself out). Mix until combined.
3
Roll small handfuls of the batter into balls the size of clementines. Press down to form a patty about 3 inches in diameter. [Editors' note: If you're having trouble getting your burgers to adhere, add another egg and mix to combine. Add a small amount of flour, just a little at a time, if the mixture is too wet.]
4
Grease a pan and heat over medium. Cook the patties about 3 minutes a side, until golden brown.
5
Eat them however you are craving them! Cut up on a salad (10/10), on a bun with olive tapenade or hummus and a few leaves of spinach (A+), or by itself out of a Ziploc bag from your fridge the day after tomorrow (100%).
