VEGGIE QUINOA BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place lid on saucepan, and cook until water is completely absorbed, about 15 minutes; Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir carrots, celery, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, and mushrooms in the hot oil until softened, about 10 minutes; set aside to cool.
• Mash kidney beans with a fork in a large bowl; add quinoa and the carrot mixture to the means and mix.
• Mix dill, spinach, egg, bread crumbs, sesame oil, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper into kidney bean mixture; shape into 8 patties.
• Brush the 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly both sides of each patty.
• Arrange the patties into a large baking dish.
• Grill on preheated grill until hot in the center, 7 to 8 minutes per side.

QUINOA AND VEGETABLE BURGERS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the cooked quinoa in a large bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet and add the sliced shiitakes in one layer. Cook, without stirring, for 1 minute, and then stir until the mushrooms are beginning to soften. Add the ginger, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and continue to cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl with the quinoa. Stir in the red pepper, cilantro and arugula.
• In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or in a bowl using a fork or a potato masher, purée the white beans with the lime juice and, if using, the egg. Add to the quinoa mixture and stir everything together. Season to taste with soy sauce or salt and pepper.
• Begin heating a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Seasoned cast iron is good, and so is a heavy nonstick pan that can go into the oven. Moisten your hands lightly and shape 4 large or 6 smaller patties. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and, working in batches if necessary, cook the patties for 2 minutes on one side, until nicely browned. Carefully turn over and place in the oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the patties are lightly browned and don't fall apart. Remove from the heat and serve, with or without buns, ketchup and the works.

VEGETABLE (QUINOA) BURGERS

Steps:

• Peel and slice vegetables. Brush lightly with olive oil for grilling. Grill until tender and caramelized. Cool down and rough to medium chop.
• Recipe #16399 is suggested before boiling your quinoa.
• In the mean time, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Cook quinoa for 7 minutes. Drain all excess water and cool. NOTE: you are not to fully cook the quinoa. 7 minutes is the suggested time and what I used. It give the burgers a great texture.
• Combine all ingredients. If mix is too wet, add more oats.
• Form patties. I used a patty press. Cook in a lightly oiled nonstick pan.
• Serve with your favorite condiments on a toasted bun.
