Quinoa And Mushroom Veggie Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Cook quinoa in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chickpeas (make sure they are well drained) and cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic powder and paprika and toss a few times to coat. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool about 5 minutes.
• Add mushrooms, tahini, miso, and 1/4 cup oil to bowl with chickpeas and mash with a potato masher or fork to combine. Add quinoa and flour and mash until mixture holds together when squeezed in your hand. Taste and season with salt if needed. Form into 8 patties and arrange on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. At this point, the patties can be baked, or they can stay frozen up to 3 months. Transfer to resealable freezer bags or layer in an airtight container with sheets of parchment between patties.
• Preheat oven to 425°. Drizzle frozen patties generously with oil on both sides on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake patties until browned and crisp, 25-30 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and bake until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
• Spread mayonnaise and mustard on cut sides of buns (if using). Place burgers on bottom buns. Top with lettuce and pickles (if using) and close up burgers.
• Do Ahead: Patties can be made 3 months ahead. Transfer to a resealable freezer bag and freeze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the cooked quinoa in a large bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet and add the sliced shiitakes in one layer. Cook, without stirring, for 1 minute, and then stir until the mushrooms are beginning to soften. Add the ginger, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and continue to cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl with the quinoa. Stir in the red pepper, cilantro and arugula.
• In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or in a bowl using a fork or a potato masher, purée the white beans with the lime juice and, if using, the egg. Add to the quinoa mixture and stir everything together. Season to taste with soy sauce or salt and pepper.
• Begin heating a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Seasoned cast iron is good, and so is a heavy nonstick pan that can go into the oven. Moisten your hands lightly and shape 4 large or 6 smaller patties. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and, working in batches if necessary, cook the patties for 2 minutes on one side, until nicely browned. Carefully turn over and place in the oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the patties are lightly browned and don't fall apart. Remove from the heat and serve, with or without buns, ketchup and the works.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place lid on saucepan, and cook until water is completely absorbed, about 15 minutes; Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir carrots, celery, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, and mushrooms in the hot oil until softened, about 10 minutes; set aside to cool.
• Mash kidney beans with a fork in a large bowl; add quinoa and the carrot mixture to the means and mix.
• Mix dill, spinach, egg, bread crumbs, sesame oil, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper into kidney bean mixture; shape into 8 patties.
• Brush the 1 tablespoon olive oil evenly both sides of each patty.
• Arrange the patties into a large baking dish.
• Grill on preheated grill until hot in the center, 7 to 8 minutes per side.
