πŸ”πŸ§…πŸ₯• Quinoa Chickpea Patties πŸ₯•πŸ§…πŸ”
Author: Lauren Bossi (Plant Based on a Budget)

Crispy chickpea quinoa patties are loaded with plant-based protein and fiber, contain hidden veggies, are super adaptable, and can be pan-fried, baked, or air fried until golden & crisp! A gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan appetizer, side, or main that's ready in about 20 minutes!

Ingredients

πŸ” 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal
πŸ” 1 Β½ tablespoons of warm water
πŸ” 1 cup of cooked quinoa
πŸ” 1 cup of cooked chickpeas
πŸ” 1 cup of finely processed (chopped) veggies (I used kale, onions & carrots)
πŸ” ΒΌ cup of all-purpose flour (or flour of choice)
πŸ” 1 teaspoon of curry powder
πŸ” Β½ teaspoon of cumin
πŸ” Β½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
πŸ” Salt and pepper to taste
πŸ” Buns (optional)
πŸ” Burger toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, hot sauce, etc. (optional)

Instructions

πŸ§… 1. Add the flaxseed meal to a small bowl. Add water and mix well. Set in the fridge for 10 minutes.

πŸ§… 2. In a larger bowl, combine all the ingredients to form the veggie burger mixture, including your flaxseed meal mixture. If it’s too dry (depending on which veggies you’re using, you can add a TINY dash of water. You don’t want it to be too wet. If it is too wet and you cannot easily form patties, add a little bit of flour until you are happy with your mixture. Using a ΒΌ cup scoop, add your mixture and form your veggie burger patties into 6 to 8 burgers.

πŸ§… 3. In a skillet heated over medium heat, add a drop of cooking oil/spray and cook veggie burgers until each side is golden brown. It should be around 3 minutes per side.

πŸ§… 4. Optionally, place the finished veggie burger on your favorite toasted bun and load on the toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, hot sauce, etc.).

Notes

πŸ₯• To enhance the flavor: SautΓ© the vegetables first until lightly caramelized and tender.

πŸ₯• Shred the veggies finely: Pulsing them in a food processor (or using a shredding disk) works wonderfully to get the job done in seconds. Alternatively, finely mince them by hand.

πŸ₯• Adjust the size: Make veggie quinoa fritters, nuggets, small patties, or burgers from this one versatile recipe.

πŸ₯• Pack the mixture tightly: When shaping the garbanzo bean burgers, squeeze firmly to pack the dough so it doesn’t fall apart while cooking. Wetting your hands can also help with the shaping process.

About Bemiee Eggs

Bemiee eggs are laid on stems of flowers, right under the petals, where they are sheltered from rain. Parent Bemiees will stick the eggs to the stem using tree sap. In addition to the tree sap holding the egg secure, the egg's tail will gradually wrap its tail tight around the stem as well. If disturbed by another creature, the eggs wings will beat fiercely which causes the eye-stinging "bumble-dust" to release from its tail flower, which will cause any curious creature to think twice before disturbing another egg.

About the Bemiee Creature

Bemiee are small winged rodents and are often referred to as fairy bees. They usually travel in groups referred to as pods. Pods of Bemiee usually develop a liking to a specific flower type over time, and will commonly lay eggs in the favored flower patches. Contrary to most beliefs, Bemiee do not make honeycombs or gather nectar. Instead, Bemiee are actually looking for water that collects on flowers. In the process of them obtaining the water, pollen gets stuck to their fur and gets transported to other flowers. Many flowers have evolved to has a sweet secretion emit from their petals so Bemiees, who love sweet liquid, will drink from their flowers more; thus pollinating more.

Bemiees do not have a stinger for self-defense. Instead, they have a flower at the end of their tails which can release a cloud of "bumble-dust", which has a sharp sent that gives a stinging sensation to eyes if it comes in contact. Bemiee are also known to use tree sap to attach other flowers and leaves to their fur. Bemiees take great pride in their flower decor and care for their flowers endlessly. Bemiees will only remove a flower from their fur for another they love and care for. Isn't that charming?
