Spicy Sweet Potato & Red Quinoa Burgers [Vegan]

Whether you're currently soaking in the Summer rays in the Northern Hemisphere, or shivering through another Winter in Australia, burgers don't discriminate.

Who needs meat or animal products to make a burger? Not this girl.

Take this basic veggie burger recipe and add your own flair to it. Play around with different herbs and spices and you'll have yourself a burger even meat-eaters will want to try. 


Ingredients

1/4 Cup Uncooked Red Quinoa (P)
300g Sweet Potato
50g Red Capsicum
50g Onion
1-2 tsp Crushed Garlic
1/2 De-seeded Jalapeno


Directions

Cook the red quinoa as per the instructions on the packaging
Pierce the skin of the sweet potato and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes
While the quinoa and potato are cooking, prep the other ingredients by finely dicing them
Allow the quinoa and potato to cool before handling them
Add everything into a bowl and mix thoroughly
Shape the mixture into four balls and then pat into burger shapes, around half an inch high
Cook however you like: in the oven, on the stove or barbeque, even in a sandwich press (it actually works quite well)
You want a nice and crisp shell, and moist on the inside, just like a normal burger

Makes 4 burgers
