Mom's Quinoa Burgers image

I made these with leftover quinoa and some vegetables I had in the fridge. Super easy! Great on a multigrain bun with some tomatoes, spinach, and your favorite spread! My 2 1/2-year-old said, I love it Mommy! If necessary, while frying, flatten the burgers with the back of your spatula (but don't make them too thin).

Time 1h31m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups water
¾ cup dry quinoa
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¼ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped celery
½ cup chopped zucchini
¼ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour, or more if needed
1 egg
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 dash cayenne pepper
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; saute for 1 minute. Add zucchini, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper; saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix quinoa, zucchini-pepper mixture, and garlic together in a bowl. Stir in flour; stir in egg. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix in mozzarella cheese. Form into about 6 equal-size patties; place on a plate.

I love how versatile these burgers are. You can serve them on a bun, in a wrap, or even over a salad.

These burgers are a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I always have a bag of quinoa in the fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

I had trouble getting the burgers to hold together. I think I might have needed to cook them for a little longer.

These burgers were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more sauce next time.

These burgers are a great way to get your kids to eat more quinoa. They're so delicious, they won't even realize they're healthy.
