Fabulous quinoa burgers... Finally figured out how to make em vegan (GF option if using gf stuff)

WARNING: these taste nothing like meat but are tasty & full o' protein

makes 6-8 burgers

Take 1 cup quinoa
rinse this in a sieve to remove the saponin
boil in plenty of water until tails appear on quinoa strain through sieve to remove (about 15-20 minutes)
(boiled quinoa keeps for a few days & taste good in salads like wheat free tabbouleh  and can be frozen after boiling for easy prep)
3/4 cup garbanzo flour (may be labeled as instant hummus or chenna flour at store)
 more garbanzo & add one egg/ egg replacer (like flax in water)instead for binding
1/2 fine chopped onion (opt)
2 cloves minced garlic (opt)
3-5 OZ LIQUID FLAVORING (for example curry paste, soysauce, worchestershire ,ketchup (find a vegan one or make it) a-1 sauce)
as always if you are allergic to wheat gluten or other things be a good label reader.

this last one used 2 oz steak sauce 1 dash liquid smoke & 1 oz worchestershire
& 2 oz soy sauce

mix well until squishy. pan fry on med heat until each side is crispy 3-4 minutes
or heat oven to 425 F and place on lightly greased cookie sheet turning halfway through (about 8 minutes)

as an added bonus this can be made from inexpensive dry goods


last served with home made frig pickles & ketchup on rye as well as a pile of arugula & tomatoes (note: rye contains gluten, so don't eat it if you are celiac.)
