Quinoa Chickpea Veggie Burger

red quinoa, rinsed (or regular quinoa)

tablespoon Braggs liquid aminos (or soy sauce)

sage

oregano

garlic cloves, roughly chopped

mushrooms,

carrots

onion, chopped

oz canned chickpeas (1 1/2 cups cooked)

pecans (sub walnuts, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds)

tomato paste

stoneground mustard

Worcestershire (I like the vegan Wizard brand)

sea salt

pepper

In a saucepan add quinoa, Braggs, sage, oregano, garlic cloves and water.  Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer low heat for 15 minutes.  Turn off heat, set aside without lifting the lid!

While quinoa is cooking, place drained chickpeas, mushrooms, carrots and onion on a baking tray.  Drizzle with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.  Slide into the preheated oven, and roast for 20 minutes.  Let cool at least 5 minutes.

In a food processor pulse pecans to a coarse meal, scoop out and set aside.

Without cleaning out the processor add roasted chickpeas, veggies, tomato paste, dijon, Worcestershire, egg, salt and pepper.  Pulse just enough to adhere mixture leaving small chunks of veggies is good.  This just takes a handful of pulses, you want some texture.

Mix together ground pecans with veggie chickpea mixture and quinoa.

Form into 6 patties abound 4.5 ounces each.

Bake on a parchment-lined sheet pan, in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Up to this step can all be done up to two days ahead refrigerating the baked burgers in a sealed container.

To serve pan sear with oil until deep golden crisp on the outside and warm through.  Enjoy with your favorite condiments.

For me this is one of the best Quinoa recipes! I'm a burger fan, and never loved veggie &amp; vegan burgers until I found this one! Thank you.

Made these today and absolutely loved them!
Thank you so much for this wonderful blog.

Used an egg, made no changes but may have added a little too much Worcestershire. Also, mine went right from oven to pan. I’ve frozen a few for later- hoping that helps keep them together.

These burgers were perfect for a quick week day meal. Delicious and nutritious, Win/win!

These were a little "fussy" but worth the extra steps. Mine unfortunately began to crumble after attempting to move them from baking tray to skillet. Having said that; I'm not giving up because the flavor and texture are perfect!!
Suggestions on perhaps one more binding element? 
Also I have a question on Braggs vs Soy Sauce vs Tamari.
I made two recipes from FAHome in the past two days, both called for Braggs (which I was out of) so I substituted in my Tamari (all I had on hand) How will this change the flavors? I know it changes the appearance but does it affect then taste quality?
Thank you for responding. This is my go to site for just about every recipe I make!!!

Delicious! I was out of chickpeas so used kidney beans instead, otherwise made as written. So good! 
Thank you for a yummy burger!

The burger had the best flavor of all I've tried, and I've tried quite a few. I skipped sage in cooking the quinoa, but doubt it made much difference. The burger tends to break apart if I'm not careful, probably due to the crumbly nature of the quinoa. Should I increase the amount of flax egg next time?

Could I use anything else in place of quinoa? I'm hoping to pass this beautiful recipe on to my mom, but I'm not sure she'd use quinoa.

These were a huge hit with my family!  Delicious and held together beautifully! The only minor changes I made were to use more Italian seasonings/dried herbs and less sage. I also added a bit of leftover marinara in place of some of the tomato paste.
