Instructions
Cooking Quinoa
- Wash the quinoa in a mesh strainer rigorously with water.
- In a pan over medium high heat, add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Dry the quinoa by adding it to the pan and letting it heat up for about 2 minutes.
- Add the broth to the pan and the salt. Stir, and bring to a boil.
- Lower to medium-low heat and cover, cooking for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When all of the water has been absorbed, the quinoa is finishing cooking.
- Use your fork to fluff the quinoa a bit.
Quinoa Burgers
- Add all of the ingredients together to the burgers.
- Divide into 4 burgers on a parchment paper (or just a place).
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Test to ensure the oil is hot enough (but not burned) by breaking off a piece of one of the burgers. If it sizzles, it is hot enough.
- Add the burgers into the pan. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on this side. It should be golden brown. If not, cook for one minute extra on each side.
- Place on a paper towel to cool and remove excess oil.
- Assemble burgers how you'd like and enjoy!
