1tablespoonof garlic paste or three garlic cloves minced
1onionchopped
1/2teaspoonof sea salt
1cupof crushed and ground rice Chex or gluten free bread crumbs of your choice or if not gluten free use Italian herb bread crumbs.
1tablespoonof olive oilused for cooking
Instructions
Mix quinoa, eggs, cilantro, carrots, garlic paste, onion, and salt until well blended.
Add the Chex or bread crumbs and mix thoroughly.
Take the mixture and form it into a burger patty. We use a 1/2 cup measuring cup sprayed with cooking oil to put mixture in. The cup creates perfectly shaped quinoa burgers as seen in my photograph. If burger patty does not keep form try adding a little bit more of the bread crumbs or if too dry add a little bit of water.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat and place burger patties in the pan.
Cover the pan cook burger patties 5-7 minutes on one side and then flip your burger patties and cook for another 5-7 minutes. The sides of your burger patties should be a nice crispy brown, but not a burnt brown. Once burger patties are cooked, place them on a wire cookie rack to cool.
I find it is good to put paper towels or a towel under your wire rack to catch any of the oil and crumbs that fall off the burger patties.
