Ingredients
To prepare these delightful burgers, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup cooked spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Buns and toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your own Quinoa-Veggie Burgers:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add the cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrots, cooked spinach, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Stir in the breadcrumbs to help bind the mixture. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs as necessary.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let cool for a moment.
- Serve the quinoa-veggie burgers on buns with your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Enjoy your nutritious and satisfying meal!
