Chickpea-Quinoa Burgers

I based this on Mark Bittman's Simplest Bean Burgers from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, but changed it to include quinoa.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups well cooked chickpeas (garbonzo beans) or 1 14 oz. can (drained)
• 1 medium onion (quartered)
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 Tbsp chili powder or spice mix of your choice
• salt and pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional - I used a Colby mix)
• Vegetable broth or water (if needed)
• 3 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

• Combine ingredients (except broth and olive oil) in food processor and pulse until chunky but not pureed. Add broth if needed to keep from sticking.
• Let mixture rest a minute, then shape into patties with wet hands.
• Let patties rest while you heat the oil in a skillet.
• Cook each patty until nicely brown on each side.
• Serve with your favorite burger fixins!

These were a bit crumbly but so delicious!
