Introduction

Recipe from http://eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com/
2010/11/01/love-my-quinoa-burger/ I just substituted organic red quinoa instead of the regular quinoa in this recipe, and added more flour which was necessary to keep the patties together. Also, my patties were smaller so it yielded more burgers. Recipe from http://eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com/

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked quinoa

2 cups water

1/2 teaspoon salt

To cook quinoa:

In a medium saucepan bring the 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Add quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and the seeds are tender. Allow to cool for a few minutes.

OR 2 rounded cups leftover, cooked quinoa

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or other variety, if you prefer)

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1 medium carrot, finely grated

3 eggs

2 tablespoons whole wheat flour

2-3 tablespoons all purpose flour (start with 2, if they won’t hold together add the other one)

2 green onions, including white parts

1 /2 teaspoon Splenda or sugar

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Olive oil for frying

Directions

In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, carrot, eggs, flour, green onions, Splenda, pepper, cumin, salt, and garlic powder.

Heat a frying pan and a couple teaspoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Measure 1/4 cup and form into patties about 1/2 inch thick - mixture will be slightly sticky. Fry until golden-brown, about 4 minutes on each side.

Serving Size: makes 10-16 patties
