Ingredients 

For the patties:

  • 100 g white quinoa boiled
  • 300 g broccoli frozen broccoli works too, thawed before using
  • 1 tomato thinly sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • a few Tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 4 Tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp psyllium husks or ground flaxseed alternatively you can use 1 big egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • oil for frying
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the burger:

  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 2-3 pickles
  • salad mix
  • vegan mayonnaise 1 Tbsp per burger
  • vegan green pesto 1 Tbsp per burger

Instructions

Make the patties:

  • Add the boiled quinoa and broccoli to a food processor and blend until you get a paste. The paste doesn't have to be creamy, you just need to combine the two ingredients. Transfer the mixture 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 shape the patties more easily.
  • Heat some oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the patties one by one.
  • Lightly fry them on both sides, then leave them to drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Assemble the burgers:

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

Notes

Chill the mixture for about 30 minutes before shaping so the patties hold together while frying. Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
