Quinoa Burgers


1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 med. carrot, peeled and finely grated
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed (I used Great Northern)
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs (I used Italian seasoned and omitted the basil and oregano)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
salt and pepper to taste

cornmeal to coat the burgers
olive or peanut oil for frying (I used olive)

Bring 3/4 cup water to the boil in a small saucepan, add the quinoa, cover and simmer 12-14 minutes until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Mash the beans in a large bowl, then add all the remaining ingredients plus the quinoa, and mix well. Shape into patties and coat with cornmeal. Warm the oil in a sautee pan and cook 6-8 minutes per side, until golden brown.

We had ours with tomato and fresh spinach on potato rolls with potato salad on the side.  :)
