Yummy Vegan Quinoa-Pecan Burgers (Gluten-Free)

Combine the following and bring to a boil in a stainless steel 'less water' type pot, put on lid and turn down to Lowest setting for about 5 minutes.  Remove from burner and let it cool (lid still on):


1 1/2  C Organic Quinoa

3 C Water

Combine and blend together the following (coarse vs. paste):


1 C. Water

1 C Pecans – 

1/2 C Wheat-free Tamari 

1/3 C Olive Oil

1/4 C Nutritional yeast flakes

2 tsp dried organic basil

2 tsp dried organic oregano

2 tsp organic onion powder

2 tsp organic garlic powder

1 tsp organic ground sage

1 tsp organic ground fennel

Pour into quinoa; mix well. 

Preheat oven to 350 F

On a large nonstick baking sheet, press mixture into a 4-inch round mold to form patties 1/2 –inch thick. (you might use a canning ring and lid and spoons to press in the mixture. When you invert it over the cookie sheet, the ring slides off and then use the back of the spoon to gently pry the patty from the lid.)

Bake 15 minutes on each side. This makes about 10-20 patties.

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
