Quinoa-Feta Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 green onion, minced
1 carrot, finely grated
2 cups quinoa, cooked
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons feta, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites, lightly whisked
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 whole grain buns, grilled
whole grain mustard, for serving
grilled onion, for serving
lettuce, for serving

Preparation

In a bowl, mash beans into a thick paste and mix in green onion, carrot, quinoa, parsley, feta, salt, and egg whites.
Form mixture into six patties and chill 30 minutes.
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, directly on grill grates or on stove top, and cook patties until golden (add remaining tbsp oil if cooking in batches), 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Serve on buns with mustard, grilled onions, and lettuce.
Tip: For grilled onions, drizzle slices with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill over medium-high heat, turning, until tender and charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
