awhile ago i found a recipe for quinoa burgers on pinterest that made my mouth water. today i finally decided that it was time to put this receipe to the test. i deem this receipe a success even though it didn't come out perfectly (mainly due to cook error)
remember this? well, cooking is still quite the challenge for me. so i thought i would mention a few things to note if you decide to make quinoa burgers at home. one: buy pre-rinsed quinoa. quinoa is a pain in the rear if you have to wash it before cooking with it. like pull out your hair aggravating. you'll thank me later. seriously. two: let the quinoa cool down for a few minutes before adding it to the remaining ingredients. (like the instructions said.) not sure if this was the reason my "patties" didn't stay in a "patty" form or not. i added a spoonful of flour and it seemed to help. three: i baked my "patties" instead of frying them. at 350 degrees for twenty-five minutes. i layed down tin foil instead of spraying pam on the cooking sheet. but i should have sprayed the tin foil cause the "patties" refused to unstick from the tin foil. four. i put mine on a sandwich thin. with avacado (my favorite!!!) and with some greek yogurt (skip the yogurt. not my favorite.). but it would have been awesome without the bread.
funny things (i think they are funny at least) said between my mom and i during the cooking of the quinoa burgers:
me: mom why didn't you teach me how to cook?
mom: i did. when you were younger.
me: well, obviously it didn't work.
me: you are going to try this aren't you?
mom: how many does the recipe make?
me: ten.
mom: (face shows a look of terror on it)
mom: it would be a good idea to put water in that pan so it's easier to clean.

These sound really good! I'll have to make these for dinner one night using your tips.
Haha, the dialogue between you and your mom crack me up because I can totally picture it. Glad you posted this, I love quinoa! I wonder if Shane'll be game to try this... :)
p.s. Your last post inspired me to set a goal to read BOM at least twice through this year!!
