Quinoa Curry Burger

1: Add 1 cup of water to the quinoa and simmer in a small pan for 15 minutes, or until soft and no water remains.

2: Meanwhile, drain, rinse, and dry the black beans. Then transfer to a mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until most of the beans have broken down, leaving some whole ones.

3: Add the red onion, cilantro, chilies, and salt to the mixing bowl.

4: Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin, and curry powder for a couple of minutes. Then transfer to the mixing bowl.

5: Use your hands to combine everything in the mixing bowl. Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a burger. Repeat for the remaining 3 burgers.

6: Chill the burgers in a fridge for 30 minutes.

7: Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the burgers for 6 minutes on each side.

8: Serve with layers of lettuce, tomato, vegan burger sauce, and slices of gherkin.
