Quinoa and Black Bean Burgers
Pan-fried until browned and crisp, these vegetarian burgers are terrific sandwiched between buns with your favorite fixings, but also are satisfying on their own with a tossed green salad. Canned black beans lend a meaty, substantial texture and help bind the ingredients together. White, red or rainbow (tricolor) quinoa all work well, so use whatever you have. If you purchased pre-rinsed quinoa, there’s no need to rinse and drain it before cooking.

-
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Directions
-
01In a medium saucepan, stir together the quinoa, a pinch of salt and ⅔ cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then cover, reduce to low and cook without stirring until the quinoa absorbs the liquid, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, then drape a kitchen towel across the pan and re-cover. Let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork, transfer to a small plate and cool to room temperature, stirring once or twice, about 30 minutes.
