Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 cups - water
- 1/2 cups - quinoa
- 1 tablespoons - grapeseed oil or vegetable oil
- 1 cups - diced onions
- 2 cups - cremini or white button mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 teaspoons - minced garlic
- 3/4 teaspoons - dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoons - dried oregano
- 1 - large egg
- 2/3 cups - shredded, reduced-fat, aged cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cups - toasted pecans finely chopped
- 1/3 cups - quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 tablespoons - reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Combine the water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer; cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion starts to become soft and transparent. Add the mushrooms, garlic, marjoram and oregano; cook for another 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the quinoa, mushroom mixture, cheese, pecans, oats and soy sauce. Scoop 1/2 cup portions of the mixture onto the baking sheet and shape into 8 or 9 patties, about 1 inch thick, leaving 1 inch between them.
Bake for 27-30 minutes, until slightly browned and crispy. Serve with your favorite garnishes.
The burgers can also be fried in an oiled skillet or grilled on a barbecue baking sheet.
