Ingredients:

5 mushrooms
90g
10 tbsp walnuts
80g
1 garlic clove
3g
2 tbsp vegetable oil
27g
3 stalks onion
36g
2 tsp vinegar
10g
5 tbsp quinoa
55g
5 tbsp cornstarch
40g
5 roll hamburger bun
220g
5 tbsp alfalfa seeds
16g
5 leafs lettuce
36g
1 tomatoes
120g
5 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
70g
1 tsp rosemary
0.70g
1 tsp lemon juice
5g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Veggies:
- Finely chop the mushrooms and walnuts.
- Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion stalks.
3. Sauté the Mixture:
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and cook until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, chopped mushrooms, and rosemary. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Add a dash of salt and the vinegar, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Mix Patty Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed mushroom mixture, chopped walnuts, and cornstarch. Mix until well incorporated.
- Form the mixture into 5 equal-sized patties.
7. Assemble the Burgers:
- Spread a tbsp of mayonnaise salad dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a cooked quinoa-mushroom patty on each bun.
- Top the patties with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a tbsp of alfalfa seeds.
- Cover with the top half of the bun.
8. Serve:
- Optionally, serve the burgers with additional sides like salad or fries.

Tips:

- Ensure the quinoa is cooked properly before mixing it with other ingredients. It should be tender but not mushy.

- Use a food processor to finely chop the mushrooms, walnuts, and garlic to achieve a consistent texture for the burger patties.

- To prevent the mixture from becoming too moist, pat dry any excess moisture from the mushrooms after chopping them.

- Let the burger mixture rest for 10-15 minutes in the fridge before forming patties to allow the ingredients to bind together better.

- Cook the burger patties over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning.

With their rich flavors and satisfying texture, these mushroom-quinoa burgers are a fantastic addition to any meal plan. They provide a tasty and healthy alternative to meat, making them perfect for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Serve them on a whole grain bun with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and alfalfa seeds for a complete and delicious meal that everyone will love.
