Quinoa Burgers
12 servings
35 minutes
A great option for a picnic or a snack at work. This is not a vegan or Lenten recipe - it has cottage cheese, and egg, and parmesan. And an unusual, complex-tasting cutlet that feels great next to red onions. Recipe by Elena Chekalova.
1
Rinse quinoa, add water in a 1:2 ratio, bring to a boil, and cook for eleven minutes. Cool down.
- Quinoa: 250 g
2
Add lightly beaten egg, finely chopped green garlic (or ramsons), chili pepper, and medium red onion to the cooled quinoa, along with low-fat dry cottage cheese and grated cheese - cheddar can be used instead of parmesan. Mix everything well.

- Chili pepper: 1 piece
- Red onion: 1 head
- Cottage cheese: 120 g
- Grated Parmesan cheese: 30 g
