Quinoa has become the new craze in Superfoods. What used to be just a side dish can now be found replacing rice in just about any dish. So why not use it in a veggie burger.
The first time I tried this recipe, I had a backup plan in mind because I just didn't think it would work out very well. It just seemed a little too "different." Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. These tasted wonderful & were so filling. My kids love them & they are another recipe where I can hide my kids veggies inside.
I got this recipe from Eating Well, Living Thin. She also includes a recipe for a Tzatziki sauce but I just used "Some Dudes" fry sauce & it was great.

When my husband saw me mixing this, I think he got a little nervous. As much as he wants to eat healthy, I think sometimes he gets a little worries about the foods I make him try.
You'll definitely want to use a measuring scoop to get these in the pan & then flatten them down. Cook them on medium to medium low so that they cook through before they burn.
