QUINOA AND MUSHROOM VEGGIE BURGERS
Slightly adapted Veggie Burgers recipe from Martha Stewart website. Includes 1 hour chilling time. My food processor didn't chop the mushrooms easily, so I used the shredder attachment. Also had some sprouts that my hubby was unlikely to eat on the burger so I pureed them and added them to the mix. But you could also just add them as garnishment. Or do both! Mmmm, sprouts. Other things that are good to add to the finished burger is avocado, cucumber, mustard, mayo, yogurt, salsa, lettuce, grilled veggies, etc. Yum!

Tips:
- Use a food processor to save time and effort. A food processor will quickly and easily chop the vegetables and quinoa, making the burger mixture a breeze to prepare.
- Don't overcook the quinoa. Quinoa should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked quinoa will be mushy and will not hold together well in the burgers.
- Let the burger mixture cool before forming the burgers. This will help the burgers to hold together better.
- Use a burger press to form the burgers. A burger press will help to ensure that the burgers are evenly shaped and cooked.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the burgers from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Serve the burgers on whole-wheat buns or lettuce wraps. This will make the burgers a healthier and more nutritious meal.

These quinoa veggie burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, fiber, and vegetables, and they are easy to make.
