The salad is just a mixed green with tomato and red onions, and the burger is pretty much just the veganomicon recipe. Except on the burger I used oats instead of breadcrumbs. I feel like that makes it more firm, Dr. Hollywood I'm going to need you to tell me what it actually does.The only really interesting or unique thing about this meal was the quinoa, so here's the recipe for that:
Cheezy Jalapeno Quionoa
2 Jalapanos
1/2 yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup nooch
1/4 cup pho-milk (I used soy)
3 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp chilli powder
1.5 cups cooked quinoa (.5 cups dry with 1 cup water, simmered for ~15 minutes)
1) Get the quinoa cooking.
2) Mince the onion, garlic, and jalapeno and simmer in medium/ hot oil for about 5 minutes, or until the onions start to turn translucent.
3) Add everything else except the quinoa, if it doesn't look saucy enough you might need to add more water
4) Stir in quinoa and serve hot.
Sweet recipie, I've been having a Quionoa fever myself and this may be a cure. Any way on the oats in the burger, I could say that they are better than crumbs because they absorb and retain moisture better and they plump up and get bulky with all their water soluble fiber. They also have a larger surface area than breadcrumbs which helps. Just like when you cook oatmeal and it gets creamy and thick the same thing happens and makes that burger thick when its cooked.
