Black Bean, Beetroot & Quinoa Patties

Directions

• Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add some olive oil. Once hot add the onion and sauté, seasoning with a pinch each salt and pepper. When the onions are soft – about 5 minutes – turn up the heat to medium and add the mushrooms. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms and onions are slightly browned and fragrant – about 3 minutes.
• Mash the black beans with a fork.  Transfer the onions/ mushrooms into a bowl and add the beans, egg, spices, quinoa, beetroot, slowly add the almond meal and mix in when mixture is sufficient enough to turn into patties. 
• Heat a non-stick fry pan with some olive oil over medium heat. Shape the patties and cook for 5 minutes each side. 
• Serve on small paleo buns and top with greens, mustard, tomatoes, gherkins and some stir-fried vegetables on the side. Garnish with some basil.
