Quinoa Veggie Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, grated carrot, chopped red onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

3. 3

   Form the Patties

   Gradually add flour to the mixture until it holds together. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

4. 4

   Cook the Patties

   Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns if desired. On each bun, layer lettuce, a quinoa veggie patty, tomato slices, pickle slices, and any additional toppings. Serve immediately.
