QUINOA BURGER

Ukusni burgeri bez trunke mesa

Sastojci:

Za 4 burgera:
1 šalica kuhane quinoe
3 suncem sušene rajčice (iz ulja)
½ šalice ribanog sira
1/3 šalice sitno sjeckanog luka
1 češanj češnjaka – usitnjen
1 jaje
2 – 3 žlice kokosovog (ili običnog) brašna
sol i papar
čili papričica – po želji

ulje (maslinovo, kokosovo ili suncokretovo)

4 peciva
zelena salata
svježa rajčica
kiseli krastavac
majoneza, kečap ili drugi premaz po želji

Priprema:

U posudi pomiješajte quinou, sjeckanu sušenu rajčicu, sjeckani luk i češnjak. Dodajte sir i umućeno jaje. Posolite, popaprite, začinite po ukusu.

Dodajte toliko brašna da možete oblikovati burgere.

Na tavi jako zagrijte ulje.
Burgere pržite otprilike 2 minute sa svake strane da dobiju lijepu zlatnu boju.
Izvadite ih na upijajući papir.

Prerežite pecivo pa ga premažite premazom po želji. Na donji dio peciva stavite list salate, burger, svježe i ukiseljeno povrće. Prekrijte drugim dijelom peciva i – dobar tek!

NAPOMENA: Sirovu quinou dobro isperite pod toplom vodom. Stavite u dublju tavu s malo ulja i lagano popržite minutu-dvije. Dodajte vodu (ili temeljac) u omjeru 1 šalica quinoe : 2 šalice vode. Posolite. Povremeno promiješajte. Kad zakipi, smanjite vatru i kuhajte ne dulje od 15 minuta. Maknite s vatre, poklopite i ostavite još 10-ak minuta.

QUINOA BURGER

Tasty burgers without a trace of meat

Ingredients:

Makes 4:
1 cup boiled quinoa
3 sun-dried tomatoes (preserved in oil)
½ cup grated cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 egg
2-3 tbsp coconut (or plain) flour
salt and pepper
1 chilli pepper (optional)

oil (olive, coconut or sunflower)

4 buns
lettuce
1 fresh tomato
1 pickled gherkin
mayonnaise, ketchup or any sauce to your liking

Method:

Combine the quinoa, chopped sun-dried tomato, chopped onion and garlic in a bowl. Add the cheese and a lightly beaten egg. Season with salt, pepper and spices to taste.
Add just enough flour to form the burgers.

Heat the oil in a pan.
Fry the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, until nicely golden.
Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Slice the buns and spread with the sauce. Arrange a lettuce leaf, the burger and the fresh and pickled vegetables on the bottom half of the bun. Top with the other half of the bun and – enjoy your burger!

NOTE: Rinse the raw quinoa well under warm running water. Place in a deep skillet with a small amount of oil and sauté briefly (for a minute or two). Add 2 cups of water (or stock) for each cup of quinoa and season with salt. Cook stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for a maximum of 15 minutes. Remove from heat and leave to sit with a lid on for about 10 minutes.
