The All Day Affair
Ingredients
For the Patties
4 cups cooked beans (I used the beans from a 16 bean soup pack minus the flavor packet)
1 cup cooked Quinoa
1/3 cup Quick Oats
1 Tbsp of butter
1 small Vadalia Onion
2 garlic cloves
2 large Okra
2 radishes including greens
2 baby beets including greens
2 small carrots
1 cup Spinach
4 Thai peppers
2 eggs
Sprigs of Thai Basil
Tarragon
Thyme
Dash of Badia Complete Seasoning
Toppings
1 ripe tomato
Buttercruch Lettuce
Olive Oil Mayo mixed with a dash of Jalapeno powder and Hatch powder
For the Bread
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
Box of Jiffy Cornbread mix
Purple and green Jalapenos
1/2 cup Grated Cheddar cheese
Wash and soak beans overnight.
Prepare Cornbread according to directions for 8x8 pan. Add Diced jalapenos to the batter before baking . Once baked, top with Cheddar cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes.
Set bread aside to cool completely.
Simmer Beans until they are cooked but maintain a firm appearance.
Cook Quinoa per carton directions
Grate carrots very fine. Grate radish. Chop the onion, garlic, Thai peppers, and beets and beet stems very, very fine. Reserve the beet and radish leaves.
Simmer the Okra until soft.
Saute the onion, garlic, peppers, beets and stems in butter until soft (about 4 minutes)
add the carrot, radish leaves, beet leaves, spinach, tarrogon, thyme, and thai basil. Cook until leaves are wilted.
In a blender, puree the okra, add the saute mix, 2 eggs, oats, and 2/3 cup Quinoa. Mix well.
In a bowl, hand mash the beans. Add mix from blender and 1/3 cup Quinoa. Mix well and form patties (Makes about 5). Add a dash of Badia Seasoning
Bake 40 minutes at 350 on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Turn burgers at 20 minutes.
Quarter Cornbread and slice pieces in half. Add spicy mayo, lettuce, and patty. Kept it simple this time, but would definitely add avocado next time
Patties turned out just right. Moist yet firm.
