Making your own comfort food kind of sounds like taking the comfort out of the food equation. After all, what's more comforting than having that shit delivered at home while you bingewatch Netflix? But making your own healthy (!) version of it can absolutely be worth it, as long as you do it right and are willing to go a little extra mile. Cooking your own burgers is not difficult at all, it just takes a little bit of preparation and time. Get all the ingredients you need, prep the quinoa and cut the other stuff in the meantime. Throw all of it together in a bowl and mix that stuff with a mixer until it is as smooth : as you envisioned it to be. Or if you feel like a workout in the kitchen: use a fork or even your bare hands to mash that shit!

Looks delicious right?! We like keeping some chunks in there for a bit of a bite but feel free to play around with how smooth you like it. Somehow misunderstood the ingredients and fucked up the mixture or ratios of them? Anything can be salvaged so don't worry. If your mix is too wet, you can always add a little bit more insect flour or regular flour if you've emptied your resources. Is the mix too dry? Apologies, you fucked up big time anytime and will have dry insect burgers - unless you add a tiny bit of bean or corn juice. Don't just add water in this case, that will not do your burgers any good in the end.

Finally, go wild with spicing the burgers up. Start with a teaspoon of the salt, pepper, cumin and paprika and add more of whatever you like the best. We love cumin and paprika, for example, so add more of that stuff. Let it rest for a bit when you're satisfied and in half an hour you almost have your homemade buffalo bean burger.

Now the only thing that's left is the toppings, and that's completely up to you. Keep it standard with some lettuce, tomato, extra onion and a slice of cheese or go crazy and add anything you like. Enjoy!
