Delicious veggie burger loaded with carrots, celery, bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, and mushrooms - a flavorful meatless option!
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 carrots, peeled and minced
  • 2 stalks celery, minced
  • 0.5 red bell pepper, minced
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 cups minced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 (19 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 0.5 bunch fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 egg
  • 0.5 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 slices shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
  • Prepare the grill by preheating it to high heat and lightly oiling the grate.
  • In a saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Then, simmer on low with a lid until water is absorbed, approximately 15 minutes. Let it cool off the heat.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Sauté carrots, celery, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, and mushrooms in the oil until softened, approximately 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool before using.
  • In a large bowl, gently mash kidney beans using a fork. Add quinoa and the carrot mixture, and thoroughly combine.
  • Combine fresh dill, spinach, egg, bread crumbs, sesame oil, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper with the kidney bean mixture until well mixed. Form the mixture into 8 delicious patties.
  • Coat each patty on both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring even coverage.
  • Place the patties neatly in a large baking dish.
  • Grill until perfectly hot in the center, about 7 to 8 minutes on each side.
