Ingredients
- ½ cup amaranth cooked in 1 ½ cups of water
- 1 cup Quinoa flakes
- 2 stalks scallions cut into thin slices
- 1 handful green peas
- 1 tablespoon flax egg
- 1-2 medium tomatoes
- 1 handful spinach fresh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
- 3 medium Burger buns
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the cooked amaranth, the quinoa flakes, the scallions, the peas and the flax egg.
- Form patties. If you have time, chill them in the fridge a bit; it will help make them more “stable” to fry; if you don’t have time, no problem, you need to be more careful when you flip them over.
- Fry the patties in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, fry on each side for about 5 minutes, medium heat, until you get a nice brown and crunchy crust.
- Sauté the spinach leaves very briefly.
- Cut the tomatoes into thin slices.
- Assemble your burger.
