INGREDIENTS:
- 2 rounded cups cooked quinoa (see note below for cooking instructions)
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or other variety, if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 medium carrot, finely grated (OR 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed dry)
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 green onions, including white parts
- 1 /2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil for frying
To cook quinoa for the above recipe:
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a medium saucepan bring the 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a
boil over high heat. Add quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook
for 18-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and the seeds are
tender. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large bowl combine the 2 rounded cups of cooked quinoa, cheddar
cheese, cottage cheese, carrot, eggs, flour, green onions, sugar,
pepper, cumin, salt, and garlic powder.
(To help them stay in patty form and not fall apart, I cook them on
med-low slowly so they have longer to set-up without burning. Makes
them easier to flip, too.) Heat a frying pan and a couple teaspoons
olive oil over medium-low heat. Mixture will be slightly sticky, so
using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop mixture into pan and lightly flatten
to 1/2 inch thick. Fry until golden-brown, about 4 minutes on each
side. Makes approx. 10 burgers.
