Mini Quinoa Burgers with Sweet Potatoes and Chicken
Ingredientes
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1/2 sweet potato grated
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsps sweet paprika
- 2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup cooked chicken meat shredded
- 3 eggs slightly beaten
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup cheese (whatever you have)
- Olive oil (or coconut oil)
Instrucciones
- Heat up a skillet with 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the onions, salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add the sweet potato and cook for a few more minutes. Add the cumin and sweet paprika.
- Put the quinoa in a bowl with a good pinch of salt and pepper, the eggs, breadcrumbs, chicken and cheese (I used feta, but any cheese will do), and mix well.
- Shape the burgers with slightly wet or greased hands, pressing tightly. Place them on a plate and put them in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
- Grease a skillet with olive oil (you can use the same skillet where you cooked the onions and just add a little more oil) and cook the burgers on both sides on medium heat for 12 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.
Notas
You can serve them with some plain yogurt mixed with fresh herbs, salt, pepper and lemon, or a salad.
It makes approximately 12 mini burgers, depending on the size. They can be frozen uncooked and let them stand at room temperature for a little while before cooking.
