For those who attended the Erin Eco Film Festival on April 13th, we’ve been able to track down the quinoa burger recipe that had everyone wanting more Quinta! For those who were unable to attend, this burger is full of flavour, protein-packed and can be adapted to be gluten free. Thanks to Cathy Hansen for the delicious recipe!
Quinoa Burgers (makes 4-5 servings)
• 2 cups cooked Quinta Quinoa
• 1 cup cannellini beans, well mashed (any bean or green lentils will do)
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
For a gluten free version, leave out the bread crumbs and Worcestershire sauce.
Sauté the onions with salt and half of the olive oil until translucent.
Add the garlic and reduce the heat. Sauté until the onions are caramelized.
Add the chili powder and sauté two minutes.
Combine the remainder of the ingredients and form in to patties.
Heat the remainder of the oil over medium heat and sauté burgers 5 min per side. For larger batches, sauté just to brown and finish on a cookie sheet in the oven at 375 for 20 min.
Pairs well with ~ Curried Mayonnaise
• ½ c good mayo
• ¼ tsp Pataks mild curry paste
