Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup shredded carrots, chopped
  • 1½ cups chopped mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
Instructions
  1. In a large non stick skillet, heat 1½ teaspoons of olive oil on medium heat. Add onions, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for ~7-8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in 2 cups cooked quinoa, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, eggs and corn starch and stir well to combine.
  2. Wipe skillet clean and add 1½ teaspoons olive oil and heat on medium heat. Divide quinoa/veggie mixture into 6 equal portions. Using your hand form a patty, Carefully place patty in skillet. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, pat veggie burger around the sides and on top to pack all the ingredients in. This will help them stick together when flipping. After ~4 minutes, lift slightly to check the underside of the patty, if it feels like it will hold together and has a nice brown crust, flip it over and cook the other side for ~4 minutes or until done. Serve on a bun (gluten free if needed) or wrapped in lettuce.
