Vegetarian burgers with quinoa and feta cream—the most delicious meatless burgers. Mmm, I love a good messy burger with a good burger bun, dressing, salad, steak and cheese. But a messy burger can just as easily be vegetarian, which is what I’ve done here with a delicious and crispy quinoa burger, flavored with cheese and herbs. I baked soft and airy burger buns according to this recipe, made a good feta cream/feta dip flavored with fresh parsley, pickled red onion and various vegetables. Try my delicious c crispy chicken burger, too. Enjoy!

Approach
Quinoa burgers
Mix the cooked quinoa with the other ingredients so it forms a sticky mixture. Form the mixture into 6 equal burgers. If you think the mixture is a bit too sticky, wet your fingers, so it’s easier to work with.
Heat a pan with olive oil. The olive oil should preferably cover the entire pan. Fry the burgers on a high heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Let the burgers drain on a piece of kitchen towel.
Get the other ingredients ready and assemble the burgers with feta cream, vegetables and the quinoa burgers. Enjoy!
