Description

Ingredients

• ¾ cup uncooked quinoa
• 1 head cauliflower (about 6 cups florets)
• 3-4 tablespoons oil, divided
• a few generous shakes of spicy seasoning - cumin, chili powder, cayenne, etc.
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt OR just a minced garlic clove or two
• ¾ cup breadcrumbs or ground almonds
• ¾ cup shredded Pepperjack cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1½ teaspoon salt
• a few good squeezes of lime juice
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• ½ cup chopped purple cabbage
• magic green sauce
• chipotle mayo
• buns (may I recommend jalapeño cheddar?)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cook the quinoa according to package directions but only using 1 cup broth of water to keep it from getting too heavy.
• Cut the cauliflower into florets, transfer to a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with spices to taste. Roast for 20-30 minutes. Let cool. Pulse through a food processor to form small pieces that stick together (see picture). We dont want PUREE here, but we do want enough mushiness to help it all stick together.
• Combine the cooked, pulsed cauliflower with the quinoa, garlic salt, breadcrumbs, Pepperjack cheese, eggs, salt, and another teaspoon or two of spicy seasoning (cayenne will make it hot-spicy, so just add a few shakes of that one). Form 10 patties.
• In an oiled or nonstick pan over medium heat, cook the burgers until golden brown on each side, flipping very carefully to avoid breaking. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
• Toss the lime juice, cilantro, cabbage, and a quick stream of oil together. Season with salt.
• Arrange the burgers with: magic green sauce, the cauliflower burger, the slaw, and the chipotle mayo on top.
