QUINOA AND MUSHROOM VEGGIE BURGERS
Slightly adapted Veggie Burgers recipe from Martha Stewart website. Includes 1 hour chilling time. My food processor didn't chop the mushrooms easily, so I used the shredder attachment. Also had some sprouts that my hubby was unlikely to eat on the burger so I pureed them and added them to the mix. But you could also just add them as garnishment. Or do both! Mmmm, sprouts. Other things that are good to add to the finished burger is avocado, cucumber, mustard, mayo, yogurt, salsa, lettuce, grilled veggies, etc. Yum!

Tips:
- Prep your veggies: Chop and dice your veggies into small, even pieces, so they cook evenly and hold together well in the burgers.
- Don't overmix the quinoa: Quinoa is a delicate grain and can easily become mushy if overmixed. Mix the ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
- Form the burgers gently: Use your hands to gently shape the quinoa mixture into burgers. Don't press too hard, or the burgers will be dense and dry.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning them.
- Serve the burgers immediately: Quinoa veggie burgers are best served hot off the grill or pan. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cheese.
