Vegetable (Quinoa) Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 zucchini, peeled sliced thickly lengthwise
1 squash, peeled if necessary, sliced, I did not use
1 red bell pepper, remove seeds & slice lengthwise into 6 strips, can substitute bottled roasted peppers
1 red onion, peeled and sliced
1 large portobello mushroom cap, substitute several small
1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing vegetables, more for cooking the burgers
1 cup quinoa, raw
4 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 bunch parsley, stems removed, chopped, approx. 1 Cup loosely packed
5 -10 garlic cloves, minced, more or 5 -10 less depending on size cloves, I used 5
1 cup breadcrumbs, plain
1 cup oats, several quick pulses in a food processor
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt, to taste, I used 1 1/2 teaspoons
pepper, to taste, I used generous dusting

Preparation

Peel and slice vegetables. Brush lightly with olive oil for grilling. Grill until tender and caramelized. Cool down and rough to medium chop.
Recipe #16399 is suggested before boiling your quinoa.
In the mean time, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Cook quinoa for 7 minutes. Drain all excess water and cool. NOTE: you are not to fully cook the quinoa. 7 minutes is the suggested time and what I used. It give the burgers a great texture.
Combine all ingredients. If mix is too wet, add more oats.
Form patties. I used a patty press. Cook in a lightly oiled nonstick pan.
Serve with your favorite condiments on a toasted bun.
