Veggie burger patty
Ingredients
- uncooked quinoa, about 2 cups cooked
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. Maille Dijon original mustard
- 1 cup coarsely grated zucchini
- 3/4 cup coarsely grated carrot
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tbsp. cornflour
- Salt and pepper
Preparation
- Rinse the quinoa under cold running water to remove its bitter flavour.
- Tip into a pan and add double the amount of water.
- Place over medium heat and bring to the boil.
- Reduce to a simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Transfer to a bowl
- Heat a large, wide non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add oil, zucchini, carrot, shallot and garlic. Cook until soft, about 5 min. Add to quinoa. Stir in egg, mustard, cornflour, salt and pepper.
- Heat the same non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Firmly press quinoa mixture into a 1/2-cup measuring cup. Turn and release into pan. Gently press to shape into a patty about 4 in. wide. Repeat, cooking 2 patties at a time. Cook until golden and warmed through.
