Shelly's Quinoa Burgers

2 cups Cooked Red Quinoa, cooled

2 Eggs, beaten

2 Green Onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

3 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix

1 Tablespoon Dried Chives

1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

a few twists of Black Pepper

Salt to taste

Canola or Olive Oil to saute

Cook dry quinoa in broth (1 cup quinoa to 2 cup chicken or mushroom broth, bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer till no liquid remains, fluff with fork) and allow to cool. Basically the directions on most packages on quinoa. I just use broth versus water for taste.

Mix all the ingredients together. Using a 1/4 cup measure make 8 "burger patties." Place in pan and flatten slightly. I saute 4 at a time in a 10" non stick pan with a Tablespoon of oil on medium heat. Cook about 5 minutes on one side. Flip once and continue about 5 minutes on other side till golden brown and crispy. Leftovers keep in fridge for a few days. To reheat, nuke a minute then place under the broiler a few minutes to crisp back up. 

Serve with Parmesan Yogurt Dip

3 oz. Greek Yogurt, plain

1 Tablespoon Parmesan, grated

1/2 teaspoon Oregano

Salt to taste

Mix till well blended.
