Take a simple grain.
Add a few vegetables- sautéed or otherwise.
Mush it together into patties and bake.
Add cheese if you lean that way.
Really, it couldn't be easier.
Here’s what
you need:
1 C quinoa +
2 C water
Some mince
onion, shallot or scallion
Some minced
garlic, to taste
½ box of
frozen spinach, thawed – all the excess water must be squeezed out
1 egg,
beaten
(or 1 T ground flaxseed with 3 T
water … OR … 1 ½ t Ener-G Egg Replacer and 3 T water)
3 T flour
1 t baking
powder
½ t sea salt
Red pepper
flakes
They look so neat and tidy here for the picture, but really, it's a big mess to make....oh well, it's just quinoa. |
Here’s what
you do:
Make the quinoa
according to the package. Prepare the
spinach. Chop the onions and garlic. Mix it all together. Form patties. Place
on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or
so, flipping half-way through.
Be careful
not to burn the parchment paper if you decide to give a minute under the
broiler, like I did.
These are
great in pita bread, or tortillas. Serve with the regular burger toppings, or
step it up a notch and serve with sliced avocado, roasted tomatoes, and spicy
mayo.
I really need to try quinoa. These look wonderful, Tracy.
ReplyDeleteYum. This looks good.
