Quinoa Mushroom Hamburger

2 1/2 cups of clean mushrooms
1/2 cup of cooked quinoa
3 tablespoons of whole wheat flour or breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1/2 Onion (chopped)
2 Garlic (chopped)
4 Green onions (chopped)
Parsley (chopped)
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil

In a processor, chop the mushrooms. You can do it by hand, but they have to be very fine chopped. In a pan, heat a little bit of  olive oil, and add the onion and garlic. Cook them for 2 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms, and season it with salt and pepper. The mushroom release water, and in that water you cook the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Let the mushroom to be cooked. Set aside and let it cool. Add the green onions, and mix with the cooked quinoa. You will end up with a texture like this:


Add the eggs, and dry the mixture with whole wheat flour or breadcrumbs. I used three tablespoons, but you can use more depending on the moisture of your mix.
