Quinoa Veggie Burger

Sauteed shallots, garlic, carrots and celery flavored the quinoa and garbanzo beans just right for this flavorful lunchtime entree.  The original recipe from Cooking Light included Tabasco..........I'm just not a hot sauce fan! 

Quinoa Veggie Burgers

Saute vegetables in oil for 3-4 minutes.
