I am finally writing my first official post and what better thing to make, than BURGERS - Quinoa burgers that is. Now if you’re sitting there and you’re reading this going, is this girl serious? Than look no further because I am more serious than you’ll ever know. These little patties were MARVELLOUS, so I really think you should try them.
Now don't get me wrong I am a girl who loves a good ol' juicy burger, smothered in cheese and bacon, but changing it up sometimes is fun! These aren't patties that you just throw on a bun but you can totally spread on any topping you see fit. I personally just ate mine plain and they were terrific on their own, but that’s totally a personal opinion. I paired them with a spinach salad and my meal was complete.
I found this recipe online from a blog titled, Creative, Crafty and Canadian. You must know that for the most part I followed her recipe but I made some small tweaks of my own.
Below is the recipe and in brackets you can find my changes. I hope this recipe goes as well for you as it did for me.

Quinoa Burger Patties (Makes approx. 8 patties)
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 cup water
10 large broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
1 onion, diced, sautéed (2 raw green onion)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped (minced garlic from a jar,
about a teaspoon)
Seasoning (I used Club House Roasted Garlic and Peppers)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used about 3/4 cup. What? I like
cheese!)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
Salt and Pepper for seasoning
Olive oil for cooking
Directions: Cook your Quinoa according to the directions on
the packaging. It’s the same ratio as
cooking rice, 1 part Quinoa to 2 parts
water. After rinsing the Quinoa,
combining 1 cup of Quinoa with 2 cups of boiling water, bring to a boil, then
simmer covered for about 15-20 minutes. Let it cool. Steam broccoli in
microwave steamer, cool, then chop into small pieces. Chop green onion and in a
large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, leaving the egg until the end.
Mix well. Form balls with wet hands, pat down the centre to make thick patties.
In a skillet, add olive oil and cook each patty for about 7 – 8 minutes on each
side on medium heat or till golden brown.
