We made these substituting flax seed for the egg white as suggested by chompsky. We didn't let it sit that long but it got pretty thick. The patties came out crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I enjoyed them but next time I'm going to add a lot more spices to season the patties. - 6/17/13

It's really quite good. I love quinoa, and am always looking for vegan, paleo-ish recipes. So, this was perfect. I added Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute (or whatever it's called) and used the flax seed binding agent idea.
Thanks for a recipe that's near vegan, gluten-free (no buns) and yummy! - 6/15/13
