Marimba and Restorative Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 c. white rice, cooked
- 1 c. red lentils, cooked
- 1 red onion
- 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 c. zucchini, diced
- 1 c. carrots, shredded and chopped
- 1/2 c. pecans, chopped
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. celery seed
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and roast for 30 minutes, turning once, until fork tender.
- Meanwhile, prep and dice/shred all the veggies, and wash the beans. Cook the rice and lentils if not already made.
- Caramelize the onion: in a medium frying pan, cook the onion over medium heat for 20 minutes, until caramelized.
- In a large bowl, place the drained beans, and mash well with a potato masher or fork. Then mash in the sweet potatoes. Stir in the lentils, rice, garlic, veggies, and all spices.
- Form into patties. Pour a little olive oil on a large frying pan, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes each side, turning once.
- Serve on buns with the caramelized onions and any toppings you enjoy.
Notes
I served this with my No Guilt Nacho Cheese Sauce, which goes perfectly with the caramelized onions on this patty.
