Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 cups Water
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
• 3 stalks Green onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Oats
• 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
• 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 small Cucumber

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water and then cook it with 2 cups of water until fluffy, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

Grate the carrot and zucchini. Finely chop the red bell pepper and green onion.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas until they form a paste-like consistency.

Step 4

Add cooled quinoa, grated carrot, zucchini, chopped bell pepper, green onion, and garlic to the bowl with chickpeas.

Step 5

Season the mixture with coriander powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add oats to the mixture and combine thoroughly. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes for the oats to absorb some moisture.

Step 7

Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each into a patty.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray if desired.

Step 9

Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and firm.

Step 10

Slice the tomato and cucumber. Prepare the burger buns by slicing them in half.

Step 11

Assemble the burgers: Spread a thin layer of low-fat yogurt on the bottom half of each bun, add a lettuce leaf, then the patty, tomato, cucumber slices, and top half of the bun.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat delicious veg burger!
