This recipe is for a diabetic-friendly quinoa burger – a meatless burger that even meat-lovers enjoy!
Step 1 Rinse the quinoa, add 1:2 water, bring to a boil, and cook for 12 minutes, then cool down. Step 2 Add a slightly beaten egg, red onion, chili pepper, low-fat dry cottage cheese, and parmesan to the cooled quinoa. Mix everything well. Step 3 Add salt and one tablespoon of rice flour to the mixture. The mixture should be sticky and thick. Step 4 Form thin burgers, lightly sprinkle with rice flour and sauté in olive oil until golden brown. Step 5 Put the halves of the buns on the frying pan. Warm the buns up until they get crispy on the outside. Step 6 Put the quinoa cutlet on the bottom bun, put onion, tomato, and lettuce on top, close the burger with the top bun. Serve and enjoy!
