SPENT GRAIN BURGERS

SPENT GRAIN BURGERS image

Yield 8 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup spent grain, wet (or Dried Spent Grain re-hydrated with 1/2 cup hot water)
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 eggs
5 tablespoons barbeque sauce
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup bread crumbs
olive oil

Steps:

WHAT YOU DO In a bowl combine spent grain, quinoa, eggs, salt, and barbeque sauce with a fork until eggs are broken up and mixture becomes cohesive. Stir in breadcrumbs. Heat a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Because the consistency is so moist, it's helpful to scoop the mixture into the hot skillet, and use a spatula to form into rounds. Let cook undisturbed for 5-8 minutes on one side, until bottom is golden brown and the burger can be easily moved. Flip and repeat on the other side. Makes about 8 sliders.
