Buffalo Cauliflower Burger, Poblano Relish

Ingredients: Makes 10 servings

1 lb Poblano Peppers, fresh
1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tbsp Sugar
1 ½ lb Cauliflower, fresh
2 cup Garbanzo Beans, cooked
1/4 cup Frank's Buffalo Sauce
3/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 cup Quinoa, cooked
1/4 cup Scallions, chopped
as needed Cooking Spray
10 each Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns

Directions:

2. Combine peppers, apple cider vinegar, and sugar in a saute pan. Cook until vinegar is reduced, about 3 minutes. Chill relish in refrigerator.
3. Remove very end of the cauliflower stems; cut heads into quarters. Use box grater and shred cauliflower.
4. Steam cauliflower until tender, about 3 minutes. Then place cauliflower in a fine mesh strainer and squeeze out all excess liquid (can also use cheese cloth).
5. Combine garbanzo beans, buffalo sauce, and black pepper in a food processor; puree until smooth. Place garbanzo mixture in a bowl with quinoa, cauliflower, and scallions. Mix until evenly distributed. Portion mixture into 4 oz patties and refrigerate until ready to use.
6. Spray grill or griddle with non-stick cooking spray and sear each side of burgers. Place burger on whole wheat hamburger bun and top with 2 TBSP of poblano relish.
