Quinoa Beetroot Veggie Burgers

• 3/4 cup cooked quinoa
• 1/2 large red onion, finely diced
• 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
• 1 tin black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup raw beetroot, grated
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• ~1/2 cup walnuts, ground

Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat with a little oil.

Cook the onions for 4-5 minutes to soften them before adding the mushrooms.

Remove from the heat, add the black beans and roughly mash.

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Add the quinoa, beetroot and spices mix well.

 Add the ground walnuts a little at a time until the mixture is thick enough to be made into a burger.

Take handfuls of the mix and mold into the shape and size you want. The thicker they are, the longer it will take to cook.

Arrange on a baking tray and spray or brush with oil and bake at 200C for 35-40 minutes.

Serve on buns or mixed greens with the toppings and sauces of your choice.
