Yesterday a friend invited me to an Epicure party. Now, I’ll admit, initially I was skeptical that there would be anything I could sample and enjoy, but I was wrong. Vegan chocolate cake (made with their brand of chocolate cocoa), and lentil burgers<\/a> (a vegan recipe straight off of their website), that were genuinely good. Who knew.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the burgers from yesterday and the hot weather, I made Quinoa Burgers for lunch today. They fell apart (I didn’t let them chill long enough before I started cooking) but were still delicious.<\/p>\n

\nI feel silly posting a recipe considering that I never listen to any myself, but it’s a decent enough guideline.<\/p>\n

\nYet Another Quinoa Burger Recipe<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n1 cup cooked quinoa (about 1\/2 cup uncooked)<\/div>\n
\n1 cup cooked mashed red kidney beans<\/div>\n
\n1\/4 cup cooked brown rice (I’m sure white\/jasmine rice would work okay)<\/div>\n
\n1\/3 cup ground flax seeds<\/div>\n
\n3 tsp egg replacer whipped with 5tbsp water (I used Ener-G Egg replacer, but there are a bunch availible)<\/div>\n
\n1\/4 cup tomato sauce<\/div>\n
\n1 tbsp dijon mustard<\/div>\n
\n3 garlic cloves, pressed\/minced<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 tsp onion powder<\/div>\n
\n2 tbsp horseradish (find vegan varieties at your local Polish store if you can’t find them at the grocery.)<\/div>\n
\n1 cup breadcrumbs (I used crumbs from a pumpernickle bread I made two weeks ago, whole wheat would work fine.<\/div>\n
\n3 tbsp chopped green chili’s (for something not so spicy puI put in about 7tbsp…)<\/div>\n
\nblack pepper and salt (whatever makes you happy)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMix everything up, in whatever order you feel like, shape into patties, chill for about half an hour. Heat up a skillet, to about medium. Then fry up in your favourite oil (I used extra virgin olive oil), till it’s nice and brown on both sides. I think this would  also work great in an oven (or even a toaster oven) if you want to cut down the fat.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
