Quinoa Burgers

These are seriously scrumptious! Even my meat eaters like these.
I served mine with guacamole, hummus, red onion, and arugula. mmmm... Grilled pineapple, grilled zucchini and cucumber & tomato salad.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1/2 cup garlic hummus (or any flav)
1 Tbsp unsalted tomato paste
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed meal or egg replacer
1 Tbsp tamari OR Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1 tblsp fresh basil leaf
1 tsp fresh thyme leaf
1/2 tsp gr cumin seed
1 tsp gr coriander seed
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder and/or fresh clove
4 Tbsp buckwheat or brown rice flour
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:


Heat a non-stick frying pan on med. low
Dry roast the cumin, coriander, paprika and garlic powder, stirring, 5 min.
Blend all ingredients in a bowl or food processor
If you have time, chill the mixture for an hour or so before forming into patties, for a firmer patty.
Divide burger mix into 8 equal portions and form into 3 inch patties
Fry in a little oil on medium heat, 5 - 10 minutes each side, until browned and firm
To freeze uncooked, place the patties between sheets of wax paper on a baking sheet and freeze. Store in a freezer bag or plastic container and cook as needed (thaw in fridge or microwave)
