    This is very similar to a quinoa burger recipe I just tried!

    2 cups cooked quinoa
    3 eggs
    3 tbsp Flour
    1 carrot finely grated (or sub zucchini)
    1 small onion finely diced
    1 cup grated cheese
    1/2 cup cottage cheese or sour cream (I didn't have any of either so I left it out...made no difference)
    Seasonings...I used 1 tsp chili powder, dash of curry and a tsp of garlic salt...very versatile for any flavor you're looking for

    Mix it all together (after letting quinoa cool a bit)..if it's too wet, add a little more flour. Use a 1/4 cup to drop into a hot oiled pan (i spritzed with olive oil between each batch) and flatten to about half an inch thickness. Fry until golden brown, then flip.

    You can serve on a bun like a real burger, or a lettuce bed. I just ate mine on their own. Suggested toppings were mayo/ketchup (fry sauce), tatziki...could be anything depending on your flavorings.

    When I made it I ended up with 11 patties at 120 calories each (not including the olive oil for frying). Super yummy!

    this looks so good!

    Never heard of quinoa! What is it and where can I buy it?
    I keep hearing about it but not sure what it is :-)

    I have found that it's the cheapest on Amazon ... Bob's Red Mill Organic Grain Quinoa, 26-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4). Hope this helps :)

    Glad you all like this idea, it is rather yummy!

    Just an FYI--Costco members, you're in luck. The cheapest place I found quinoa was at Costco! $10 for a huge bag (I forget how many oz, but by far the cheapest I've found anywhere).

    I'll be bothering my girlfriend or my brother to tag along on their next trips!
