• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry patties until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir carrots, celery, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, and mushrooms in the hot oil until softened, about 10 minutes; set aside to cool.
• Mash kidney beans with a fork in a large bowl; add quinoa and the carrot mixture to the means and mix.
• Mix dill, spinach, egg, bread crumbs, sesame oil, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper into kidney bean mixture; shape into 8 patties.

EPIC CRISPY QUINOA VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the quinoa, mashed cannellini beans, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, chipotle chile powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to moisten the ingredients and then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well again and form into 4 or 5 equal burger patties (I made 5). Place on a plate and put in the fridge.
• In the same skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grab the quinoa burgers and cook until golden and crisp, about five minutes per side. During the last minute or so of cooking add the cheese, cover the pan and cook 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted. My burgers were not crumbly at all and very easy to flip.
• Assemble burgers with your favourite toppings. Caramelized onions, avocado, lettuce, onion, mayo, dijon and ketchup are great.

CHICKPEA BARLEY QUINOA VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Wash the sweet potato and prick it all over with a fork. Wrap in a clean, damp dishtowel and microwave on high for 5 minutes. CAREFULLY check it by squeezing it - you may need to use another dry dishtowel to do this - the potato will be hot. It should give a bit when squeezed, so if it stills seems hard microwave on high for another 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool until you are able to handle it with bare hands. Scoop the flesh out of the sweet potato and discard the skin.
• In a food processor, combine chickpeas, sweet potato, green onions, parsley, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper, flour, and one tablespoon oil, 1/4 cup of the barley and 1/4 cup of the quinoa. Process until the mixture is a cohesive paste.
• Put the chickpea/ sweet potato mixture in a large bowl and mix together with the remaining barley and quinoa. I find it is easiest to do this with my hands.
• Form the mixture into 6 patties.
• You can cook these right away in a frying pan lightly greased with olive oil; or you can place them on greased wax paper and freeze for later.
