Quinoa is an uber tasty, nutritious super-grain that can be used in a huge range of recipes. This week we're learning how to make gluten-free quinoa burgers!
Ingredients:
- 20g butter
- 300g roasted sweet potato
- 1 small onion diced
- 50g diced mushroom
- 200g red quinoa
- 1 egg yolk
- 60g chickpea flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2tsp ground cumin
- a pinch of cayenne pepper
Method:
- Prior to making the burgers, roast the unpeeled sweet potato, let it cool( you could make it ahead and store it in a fridge).
- In a frying pan place the butter onion and mushrooms and fry for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl place the peeled sweet potato and mash it with a fork. Add the fried mushrooms and onion and mix in cumin and cayenne pepper. Fold in the egg, cooked quinoa and chickpea flour, add salt and pepper to taste.
- With your hand form the mix into about 8 equal size burgers. When ready, fry the burgers for a couple of minutes on each side and serve.
