This recipe is a great way to use up leftover quinoa, but if you need to make it from scratch, combine 1½ cups rinsed quinoa with 3 cups water in a pot with a lid. Bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat. Leave the quinoa to steam covered for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and let it cool before making the patties.
These burgers will keep up to 3 days in the fridge, so they can be made ahead of time. After cooking, cool them on a wire rack, then refrigerate or freeze them. Defrost them for 3-4 hours in the refrigerator, or run cold water over them until they are soft. When you are ready to eat them, reheat in a lightly oiled skillet.
