Taste of Tuesday: Greek Quinoa Burgers

~ Good Morning ~

Happy Tuesday! So I completely over-indulged this weekend and did not eat well...at all! I mean, I ate those ridiculously delicious powdered sugar mini donuts; so not on the diet, but soooo awesome I could have cried.  But, it's time to get back on track! So tonight for meatless Monday I made Greek Quinoa Burgers from The Healthy Maven.

GREEK QUINOA BURGERS

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked quinoa (any colour), cooled completely (1 cup uncooked)
• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (not in oil)
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Place in refrigerator to cool faster.
2. Add cucumber to a food processor and process until completely broken up.
3. Add in red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and parsley and pulse several times.
4. Add in chickpeas and process until it all comes together into a sticky mixture.
5. Add quinoa, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Process until mixture can easily be rolled into balls (about 40 seconds).
6. Divide and roll into 10 balls.
7. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add coconut oil or olive oil.
8. Place several burgers in pan an flatten slightly with palm.
9. Cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until outside is crispy.
10. Serve warm on it's own or on a bun.
11. Will keep for several days in refrigerator.

Happy Munching Lovies!!!
