Ingredients

  • Vegetarian Patty Mix:
  • Three-fourth cup of water
  • Half a cup of quinoa
  • A carrot
  • One can of garbanzo beans (15 ounces), rinsed and drained
  • Six small green onions, finely chopped
  • Quarter cup of breadcrumbs made from whole wheat
  • An egg, lightly beaten
  • A minced garlic clove
  • One teaspoon of ground cumin (adjust to preference)
  • Quarter cup of peas
  • Quarter cup of corn kernels
  • Two tablespoons of olive oil
  • Tahini Dressing:
  • Half a cup of plain yogurt
  • Three tablespoons of tahini
  • A lemon, freshly squeezed
  • A tablespoon of freshly chopped cilantro (adjust to preference)
  • A teaspoon of hot Madras curry powder

Step 1

Begin by bringing a pot of water and quinoa to a lively boil, allowing it to bubble away in the saucepan. Then, lower the heat to a gentle medium-low, cover it up, and let it simmer until the quinoa becomes tender and has absorbed all the water, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

Next, take a fresh carrot and roughly chop it using a food processor until it's all broken down. Add in the quinoa, garbanzo beans, green onions, bread crumbs, an egg, garlic, and a pinch of cumin. Give this flavorful mix a few pulses in the food processor until everything is nicely combined. Transfer this vibrant mixture into a bowl.

Step 3

Gently fold in some sweet peas and corn into the quinoa blend, then pop it into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together beautifully. Once it has set and come together, shape the mixture into delightful patties.

Step 4

In a skillet, warm up a drizzle of fragrant olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the quinoa patties in the skillet and fry them until they turn a lovely golden brown color, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

Step 5

To create a delicious accompaniment, mix together creamy yogurt, nutty tahini, a splash of fresh lemon juice, fragrant cilantro, and a hint of curry powder in a bowl. Serve these scrumptious quinoa burgers alongside this delectable tahini sauce for a delightful meal.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it Fresh : Store your fresh veggies like carrots, bell peppers, and onions in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor.
  2. 2. Freeze for Later : Cooked quinoa can be frozen in individual portions for quick and easy meal prep. Simply thaw and reheat when you're ready to make your veggie quinoa burgers.
