Quinoa Veggie Burger

Here is a NEW twist to the traditional burger!

I love quinoa, and I love burgers so I thought I should give these a try! 

We typically meal prep on Sundays and I usually make a big thing of quinoa, so I took some of our already cooked stache to make these burgers! 

Basically you can use any veggies you have on hand, but I used organic-carrots, mushrooms, peas, corn, peppers.

I apologize in advanced but I am not a huge measuring person, I throw stuff in until it looks right. 

Here is what you will need:

2 Cups cooked Quinoa (I cook mine in organic chicken stock)

1 handful of mushrooms (5-6)

1 handful cup peppers (yellow,red, orange peppers)

2 organic carrots 

1/4 cup frozen organic corn and peas mix

2 Green onions

2 Eggs

2 Tbs minced garlic

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp paprika 

INSTRUCTIONS:

throw all ingredients into the cuisinart

Spray your pan with cooking spray or add a tablespoon of oil. 

Cook on medium to low heat for about 5 minutes on each side, or until browned. 

*Tip: Make sure patties aren't too thing or else they will fall apart.  

         Be sure to flip gently so they do not fall apart. 

For best results these should cool for a two hours or over night so they do not fall apart.  

Serve however you would like.  But I like them topped with avocado and Pico de Gallo!



Enjoy!
