Tis the season for all things cranberry.

A few weeks ago the Cranberry Institute sent me the following ingredients: white quinoa, cannellini beans, sage, and cranberry sauce. My challenge (if I chose to accept it) was to create a dish using the ingredients they sent. I immediately thought….bean burgers! I asked Johnna to lend a hand and here is the final creation.

The patty alone is delicious, but what really give it that little somethin’ somethin’ is topping it with cranberry sauce. Not only does it make it more delicious, but cranberries have so many great health benefits.

If you’re looking for a great vegetarian dish to serve over the Holidays, this is definitely a winner.

Special thanks to the Cranberry Institute for sending me the ingredients!

Have a great Thanksgiving!
