Super Bowl Black Bean Quinoa Burgers

January 29, 2014 · Leave a Comment

IMG_3174 The nation is gearing up for the big game on Sunday, but it’s more like Super Bowl week here in the New Jersey/New York area. Although, slightly bitter my New England Patriots didn’t make it to the final game, I’m still all about football and enjoying the fun that is Super Bowl. I’ll be getting together with friends for a small party where of course plenty of drinks, cocktails and traditional game foods, like wings, pizza and chips will be served. For a vegetarian, and someone who actually finds comfort in healthier foods, like myself eating at football gatherings can be more nerve racking than the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. Which is why I’ve decided to create a lighter, and more filling version of the all-American burger. Veggie burger creations have become so versatile, between endless options of legumes and grains. My favorite protein-fiber combinations would be classic black beans and quinoa. With endless nutritional benefits from these super and filling ingredients, you won’t even miss the regular meat patties. I wrapped my burger in large collard leaves, topped with sliced avocado, ripened tomatoes and a dollop of whole-grain mustard alongside seared brussels sprouts. Of course for Sunday’s game no one really wants to eat Brussels sprouts, but why not serve up these kale chips alongside other classics for another healthy alternative. Regardless of what team wins, I’m looking forward to some good football and great company.

Black Bean Quinoa Burgers

Ingredients {Makes 4 Burgers}

2 cups – Black Beans {cooked & drained}

1 cup  – Quinoa {cooked}

1 clove – Garlic {minced}

2 tablespoons –  Fresh Parsley {chopped}

1 tablespoon – Fresh Basil {chopped}

Coarse salt and pepper

1 large – Egg {whisked}

2 tablespoons – Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Whole-grain mustard {for garnish}

Sliced Tomatoes {for garnish}

Sliced Avocado {for garnish}

Collard Greens {large leaves for wrapping}

Recipe

Mash black beans and quinoa until thick paste forms. Blend in garlic, parsley and basil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in egg. Form into four 1/2-inch thick patties.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add formed patties, cook until golden brown {about 4 minutes per side}. Lay to large collard green leaves, perpendicular to each other {so they form a T}. Place patty atop collards, spread with mustard and finish with avocado and tomatoes. Wrap up patty with greens, secure with toothpick if necessary {make sure to let your guests know if you use a toothpick to secure burgers}.

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨
