Why You'll Love This Recipe

This burger is a delicious way to enjoy a healthy meal packed with protein and fiber. It’s perfect for vegetarians and anyone looking to eat more plants. The mix of quinoa and vegetables creates a great texture and flavor that satisfies without feeling heavy.

Pro Cooking Tips

- Press the mixture firmly when forming patties so they hold together well.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure the inside cooks without burning the outside.
- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to help them set and stay intact.

Directions

Bring some water to a boil in a saucepan, then add the quinoa. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the quinoa is tender and all the water is absorbed—this usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. While the quinoa cooks, roughly chop the carrot in a food processor. Then add the cooked quinoa, garbanzo beans, green onions, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, and cumin to the processor and pulse just until everything is combined. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and stir in the peas and corn. Pop the bowl into the fridge for about 15 minutes so the mixture firms up a bit, making it easier to shape into patties. When ready, heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until they’re golden brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes each. For a simple sauce, mix together yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, cilantro, and curry powder, then serve it alongside your burgers.

Best Pairings For This Dish

Serve these patties on whole-grain buns with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and your favorite sauce like avocado mayo or spicy mustard. They also go well with a side salad or sweet potato fries for a balanced meal.

How To Save Leftovers

Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just separate each patty with parchment paper and place them in a freezer bag. Reheat gently on the stove or in the oven before serving.
