Quinoa Burgers

 

Bring the following to a boil and simmer 3 - 5 minutes:

 

3 cups water

1/4 cup gluten free soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos

3/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 tsp. salt (optional)

3/4 tsp. sweet basil

 

Then add the following and stir gently:

 

1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or unsalted sunflower seeds

3 cups quinoa flakes

 

Return mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to set 5

minutes.

 

Form into burgers while mixture is still hot by one of the following

methods:

 

1. Using a burger press.

2. Spooning mixture into a canning jar ring on an oiled cookie

sheet. Preess mixture into jar ring with a back of a spoon. Remove

jar ring and repeat. This will create uniform burgers.

3. If forming burgers in your hands, allow batter to cool

significantly before attempting the project. They won't hold

together quite as well.

 

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes on first side. Flip burgers.

Bake 15 minutes on second side.

 

Variation: Try adding 1/2 cup celery when you add the onions. Yum!

 

Serve topped with gravy or in a sandwich.

 

These can be made ahead of time and frozen to be retrieved in

some " emergency " or when you need a quick lunch.

 

Yield: 11 burgers.
