I love a good burger; who doesn't? But I am on a mission to eat less meat for environmental and health reasons, so I have been searching for a satisfying plant-based alternative to the classic beef burger.
My experience with veggie burgers up until this point can be summed up in 2 words; rubbery and disappointing.
If I am going veggie, I don't want the ingredients processed beyond recognition, then reformed into a patty with the same texture and aroma as "real meat." Not my jam!
This Spicy Bean Burger with curry mayo knocks any pre-made veggie burgers I have tried right out of the park!
If you've never made a veggie burger before, this recipe is a great place to start.

CAN YOU FREEZE THESE BURGERS?
These burgers freeze well, and they are the perfect make-ahead meal. You can safely store spicy bean burgers for up to 3 months in the freezer in an air-tight container. I freeze mine raw, placing a layer of parchment paper between each burger to prevent them from sticking together. Defrost frozen burgers in the fridge overnight, then cook 'em up for a nutritious and satisfying meal on a day when you don't feel like cooking.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED
In addition to some cooked quinoa, you will need rolled oats, one large sweet potato, a can of kidney beans, two cloves of garlic, fresh cilantro, an egg, a spoonful of peanut butter, spices, salt, and pepper.
