Instructions
Roasted Pepper Quinoa Burger
- Roast the peppers until nice and charred. Place the pepper in a ziplock bag for at least 5 minutes, this will make taking the charred skin off much easier.
- Clean the charred skin off the peppers and remove the stem and seeds.
- Cut one of the red peppers in half and reserve half of one for later use. Puree the peppers and and chickpeas until smooth. Let cool if warm.
- In a large bowl combine the pepper mixture, diced onion, garlic, alfalfa sprouts, eggs and season to taste. Add the panko until the mixture is easy to work with and patties can be formed.
- Spray a baking sheet with PAM and bake each patty for 10 minutes on each side.
Red Pepper Hummus
- Blend all together until smooth. I add EVOO at the end to make it the desired consistency.
