- This week we are trying vegan recipes. This is a nice vegan burger that gets protein from cheese and quinoa instead of meat.
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 c. broth
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese
- 2/3 c. sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 1/2 eggs (I usually beat a whole egg, then half it)
- 3 tablespoons flour (you can use coconut flour for GF)
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallion/green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
To cook quinoa (makes 3 cups)
- Rinse quinoa in a mesh strainer with water.
- In a sauce pan over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons olive oil.
- Add the quinoa to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes.
- Add broth and salt to the quinoa. Bring to a boil.
- Simmer on medium-low heat, covered. for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Add 1 c. of the cooked quinoa plus all of the ingredients together to make the burgers.
- Divide into 4 burgers on a parchment paper (or just a place).
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Test to ensure the oil is hot enough (but not burned) by breaking off a piece of one of the burgers. If it sizzles, it is hot enough.
- Add the burgers into the pan. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on this side. It should be golden brown. If not, cook for one minute extra on each side.
