Cumin is pretty great with black beans, but cilantro gave these burgers a whole new dimension that I wasn’t expecting! Perfect with a garlicky tahini sauce.

Author's Notes

If you have a small processor like me, it’s easiest to work in batches and half the ingredients to make sure everything’s broken down (especially the greens).

step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
Rinse and drain the Quinoa (125 g). Add Water (120 mL) and quinoa to a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat down and simmer until water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
step 3
Add the Black Beans (1 can) (plus 1/2 cup more from a second can), Fresh Cilantro (8 g), Fresh Spinach (480 mL), Garlic (2 cloves), Ground Coriander (1 tsp), Ground Cumin (1/2 tsp), and Onions (2 tsp) to a food processor. Blend until everything is incorporated.

step 4
Form the mixture into burgers about the size of those you’ll want for your buns. I made mine a bit generous, and got 8 burgers out of the total. If you made them smaller or bigger that number could change.

Place the burgers on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes on each side, or until the outsides begin to get a bit crispy and the burgers are firm.

step 6
While the burgers are cooking, mix together the Tahini (1 1/2 Tbsp), Water (3 Tbsp), Garlic Powder (1/4 tsp), and juice from Lemon (1) to make the dressing.
step 7
When the patties finish, serve with Buns (8) and top with dressing, Lettuce (to taste), Tomatoes (to taste), and Avocados (to taste). Enjoy!
