Spicy Bean & Quinoa Burgers

This recipe has stemmed from the fact I am getting bored of chicken or fish or chicken or fish for tea all the time. And when I get bored, I eat the wrong things... This weekend is a great example of this. I've been terrible! Eaten all the wrong things, went out Friday night and now I feel terrible!

I need to get back on that horse and get back on track because 1 weekend of excess won't kill me, but I need to get back into perspective. I am planning all my meals this week, and getting my chubby behind back to the gym. 1 of these bad boys are going to one of my meals this week.

I don't think this recipe is perfect by any means, and there is loads I would do differently next time, but they are tasty!

You'll need: (Makes 6 burgers)
1 tin of kidney beans- drained and washed
1 tin of black eye beans- drained and washed (feel free to sub with some other type if you can't get them)
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 red chilli
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 egg
50g quinoa
50g oats
Salt & Pepper
Hand blender
Grease proof paper
Large bowl

How?:
Blitz your onion, coriander, cumin, garlic & chilli
Mix with your beans, egg, quinoa & oats.
Using your hand blender, blend until its wholly smooth.
Season!!! Taste the mix, if it's not hot enough, adjust your spicing to your tastes.

Form into patty shapes & bake in the oven at 200 degrees for approx 25 mins or until cooked through.

You can freeze these bad boys for a later date or serve straight away with some salsa, sweet potato wedges and salad!

If you're a vegan, leave out the egg...
If you're gluten intolerant, make sure your oats are gluten free!
