Cooking veggie burgers over a campfire adds a rustic flavor to this vegetarian-friendly dish. Follow this straightforward recipe to enjoy a savory meal perfect for outdoor adventure.
Ingredients:
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
– 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Burger buns and toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Campfire:
– Start your campfire and allow it to burn down to hot coals or medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Veggie Burger Mixture:
– In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
– Add cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
3. Form the Patties:
– Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on how large you want your burgers.
– Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Ensure they hold together well.
4. Cook Over the Campfire:
– Brush each veggie burger patty lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
– Place the patties directly on the grill grate over the hot coals.
– Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are heated through and have grill marks.
5. Assemble and Serve:
– Toast the burger buns lightly over the campfire if desired.
– Place each veggie burger on a bun and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, or condiments.
Tips:
– Use a grill basket or aluminum foil if you prefer to cook the veggie burgers without them directly touching the grate.
– Customize your veggie burgers with additional spices or herbs to suit your taste preferences.
– Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp salad for a complete campfire meal.
