  • 1 tomato thinly sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • a few Tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Make the patties:

  • Add the boiled quinoa and broccoli into a robot and mix until you end up with a paste. The paste doesn't have to be creamy, you just need to combine the 2 ingredients. Move the composition to a bowl and mix with the rest of the patty ingredients.
  • TIP: Leave the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes if you want to form the patties easily.
  • Heat some oil in a large, non-stick pan on the stove. Add the patties, one by one.
  • Lightly fry them on both sides. Leave them to drain on a plate with a kitchen napkin on it.

Assemble the burgers:

  • Smear the mayonnaise and pesto on each burger bun.
  • Add 1 patty, 2-3 tomato slices, pickles, salad leaves, 1/4 avocado (mashed) for each burger.
  • Enjoy!
