Yield

1 cup uncooked quinoa
1/2 cup minced onion any color
1 cup kale deboned and finely chopped
1/2 cup sun dried tomato drained and chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons pesto
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour white whole wheat or gluten-free all-purpose works, too
salt and pepper to taste

First, preheat the oven to 400ºF and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Next, cook quinoa according to the directions on the package.
Once the quinoa is fully cooked, combine all of the ingredients together in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Now it's time to form your patties. Scoop a heaping 1/4 cup of the quinoa mixture into your hands and form it into a burger-shaped patty. Repeat until the quinoa mixture is gone.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.*
Serve alone, on a bun, on a salad, or with a fried egg!

Pan Fry Method: Fry each patty over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side.
We found that they stayed together better when baked, but pan frying works, too, and will give them a crispy edge.
Chop up your kale and sun-dried tomatoes super fine so you don't have huge chunks.
Throw on some hot sauce for an extra spicy kick!
Form the patties with wet hands. This helps the patties stick together better.
