Beet Burgers

2 1/2 c kidney beans
1 medium red onion, diced
1 c dried bread crumbs (I use spelt biscuit crumbs)
2 t dried parsley
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 t freshly ground pepper
1 pinch salt
1 heaping T guar gum
5 c shredded raw beets
2 c quinoa

In a food processor, pulse the beans until mostly mashed. Add diced onions, bread crumbs, parsley, vinegar, guar gum, salt, and pepper and mix until well combined. In a large bowl, combine this mixture with the shredded beets and quinoa. Form into tightly packed balls and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Press down to form patties. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes on each side.
