QUINOA BURGER

Steps:

• For the sour cream avocado sauce: Put the sour cream, salt, avocado flesh and lime juice in a food processor and puree. Set aside.
• For the burger: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prepare the quinoa following the package directions. Turn off the heat and allow to cool by removing the lid.
• Toss the carrots, beets, squash, quartered onion, 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon of salt on a baking sheet. Spread evenly in one layer and roast for 1 hour. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
• Placed the roasted veggies in a food processor with the thyme, garlic and a large pinch of salt. Process until chunky but not a mush (smalls chunks of veggies are okay-they help give the burger texture and more personality). Place in a large bowl.
• Fold the quinoa and breadcrumbs into the chunky veggie mix until well incorporated. Taste and season if necessary. Form 5 patties from the mixture, oiling your hands to keep the mixture from sticking.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Toast the buns. Spread the buns with the sour cream avocado sauce. To the bottom buns add the patties, tomato slices, sliced onion, pickles and alfalfa sprouts. Add the top buns to close the burgers.

• Roughly mash the black beans with a fork leaving some whole black beans in a paste-like mixture.
• Mix the quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, hot pepper sauce, and egg into the black beans using your hands.
• Form the black bean mixture into 5 patties.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
• Cook the patties in the hot oil until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

GREEK-STYLE QUINOA BURGERS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 3/4 cup water to a boil; add quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, 12 to 14 minutes; set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse carrot until finely chopped. Add cooked quinoa, half the scallions, beans, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; pulse until combined but still slightly chunky.
• Form mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties (dip hands in water to prevent sticking). If too soft, refrigerate 10 minutes to firm. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium; cook burgers until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, and the remaining scallions; season with salt and pepper. Serve burgers in pita topped with cucumber and yogurt sauce.
