QUINOA BURGER

Steps:

• For the sour cream avocado sauce: Put the sour cream, salt, avocado flesh and lime juice in a food processor and puree. Set aside.
• For the burger: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prepare the quinoa following the package directions. Turn off the heat and allow to cool by removing the lid.
• Toss the carrots, beets, squash, quartered onion, 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon of salt on a baking sheet. Spread evenly in one layer and roast for 1 hour. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
• Placed the roasted veggies in a food processor with the thyme, garlic and a large pinch of salt. Process until chunky but not a mush (smalls chunks of veggies are okay-they help give the burger texture and more personality). Place in a large bowl.
• Fold the quinoa and breadcrumbs into the chunky veggie mix until well incorporated. Taste and season if necessary. Form 5 patties from the mixture, oiling your hands to keep the mixture from sticking.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Toast the buns. Spread the buns with the sour cream avocado sauce. To the bottom buns add the patties, tomato slices, sliced onion, pickles and alfalfa sprouts. Add the top buns to close the burgers.

QUINOA BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Roughly mash the black beans with a fork leaving some whole black beans in a paste-like mixture.
• Mix the quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, hot pepper sauce, and egg into the black beans using your hands.
• Form the black bean mixture into 5 patties.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
• Cook the patties in the hot oil until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

QUINOA BURGERS

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat quinoa and broth to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until all broth is absorbed. Cool.
• In large bowl, mix cooled quinoa, onion, bell peppers, carrots, zucchini and eggs. Add Bisquick mix, dill, salt and pepper; mix well.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Drop quinoa mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into hot oil; flatten slightly into patties. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve burgers on mixed greens.

QUINOA AND GREENS BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Either steam the beet greens for 2 minutes above 1 inch boiling water, or blanch in salted boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain, squeeze out excess water, and chop medium-fine. Place in a large bowl with the cooked quinoa.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet and add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are just about tender, about 3 minutes, and add the ginger and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, and add the cumin and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for another minute, and remove from the heat. Stir into the quinoa mixture.
• In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or in a bowl using a fork or a potato masher, purée the chickpeas with the lemon juice and, if using, the egg. Add to the quinoa mixture and stir everything together. Season to taste with 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 1 to 2 minutes on one side, until nicely browned. Carefully turn the patties over and place the pan in the oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the patties are lightly browned; if they fall apart you can patch them together with some pressure from the spatula. Remove from the heat and serve, with or without buns, ketchup and the works.

VEGAN BEETROOT & QUINOA BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put 1 tbsp of the rapeseed oil in a small frying pan and tip in the onion, cumin and garlic, then fry over a medium heat for 8 mins until softened and golden. Tip into a bowl. Add the cooked quinoa, beetroot, flour, flaxseed and coriander, and mix until combined. Season lightly. Leave to sit for 5 mins to bind.
• Divide the mixture into four - it will be quite loose - then, using wet hands, shape them into patties. Put the burgers on a lined baking tray and put in the oven for 15 mins. Turn them over and cook for another 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the salad dressing. Whisk together the beetroot liquid, lemon juice, yogurt and oil, and season.
• To serve, pile the rocket onto plates and place a burger on top. Drizzle over the dressing and scatter over the extra coriander.
