Mushroom and Quinoa Burgers
It’s probably a bit cold and windy for these Mushroom and Quinoa burgers to be grilled on the BBQ, but still a great recipe to try out. Place inside a toasted burger bun with some crunchy lettuce, a splash of ketchup with some oven baked sweet potato wedges on the side. Now close your eyes and pretend it’s a hot summer’s day whilst you take a bite of that delicious burger.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190oC / 170oC fan / gas mark 5
- In a mixing bowl, toss together the chopped mushrooms, walnuts, garlic, vegetable oil and seasoning. Spread onto a shallow baking tray and place in the oven, stirring halfway for 15- 20 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked through, then allow to cool.
- In a food processor blend together the mushroom mixture, red onions, spring onions and vinegar, pulse until smooth.
- Stir the cooked quinoa and cornflour into the mushroom mix, cover and place in the fridge to firm up for 2 hours.
- Remove the mix from the fridge and form into 4 equal patties.
- In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil, place the burgers into the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking tray, place in the oven for around 10 minutes or until completely heated through.
