Week of November 15

Next week is the Thanks Givens CSA box. I will get the blog out as early as possible Monday so you can plan accordingly. Please make sure to put your account on hold NOW if you plan on skipping next week. That will help us secure exactly what we need for next week as planning starts earlier than usual.
We will be donating veggies to the Organic Soup Kitchen again this year. Please let us know if you would like to donate a box towards the cause. The CSA will donate $200 and then match every box that’s donated as well.

Beet and Chickpea Quinoa Burgers

(This is a beet burger to inspire. I love to make beet burgers. This is how I do it: For 1 serving I grate 1 beet and mix with 1 TBSP flour of choice, 1 egg, salt & pepper and any other spices you might enjoy. Flatten into patties and fry for 5 mins each side. I haven’t tried the recipe below, but it looks really good if you have a bit more time to prep.)
Ingredients:
The burger mixture:
1/2 cup dried chickpeas garbanzo beans, soaked 8 hours or overnight (or one 14 ounce can of cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed)
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup raw quinoa white or multi
salt
3 medium-sized red beets about 10 ounces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2-4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
zest from 1/2 a medium lemon
juice of 1 medium lemon
1 large egg
1/2 cup quick baby oats
For serving:
several tablespoons of light olive oil for frying the burgers
6 buns
mustard mayonnaise, avocado, thinly sliced red onion, sprouts, or other toppings of your choice
