Instead of cooking the quinoa, I just used half a pack of Merchant Gourmet pre-cooked variety, much quicker! I served it with smashed avocado, sweet red pepper and cucumber slaw. These go great with my perfect Sweet Potato Fries. You can make the burgers in the time it takes to cook the fries in the oven.
