[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] Okay so this episode is a bit of an excuse to chat about gherkins and what we add to a burger to make it PERFECTO. Tip 1. Gherkins really enhance a burger! Tip 2. Burgers don’t have to be meaty! You can make a fantastic burger using Quinoa (see our earlier episode about Quinoa) and a tin of beans. Want more food tips? Check out the 5 Minute Food Fix Instagram. RECIPEINGREDIENTS 1 cup uncooked quinoa 400g tin adzuki beans, drained and rinsed 220g medium-firm tofu 1/3 cup (20g) nutritional yeast 1 tbs tomato paste lots of pepper grapeseed oil for frying METHOD Cook the quinoa according to the packet directions. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in all the other ingredients (except frying oil). Make sure the tofu is mashed in and the adzuki beans are crushed. Shape the mixture into 6 patties about 11cm diameter. Spread on a tray and refrigerate until needed (2 hours minimum if possible – this helps them firm up and retain their shape when they’re being fried. I also freeze them and fry them from frozen and it works a treat). Heat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat with 2 tbs oil. Fry for 3 mins per side. The less you fuss and fiddle, the more likely they are to hold their shape, so leave them alone to fry. Serve in your fave buns with all the trimmings.
