Double-Decker Red Quinoa Sandwich Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 20 minutes

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

½ cup red quinoa

1 cup vegetable broth

4 large portabella mushroom caps

2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided

¼ cup finely chopped onion

½ cup raw pecans

2 green spring onions, chopped

2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 tablespoons raw shelled hempseed

¼ cup flour

3 whole wheat burger buns

Toppings and condiments: lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, mustard, dairy-free spicy mayo

Instructions

1Place the quinoa in a sieve and rinse well. Combine the quinoa and broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the broth is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let set with the cover on for 5 minutes.

2Remove the gills from the mushrooms and discard. Chop up the mushroom caps.

3Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and mushrooms and sauté for 10 minutes. Add the pecans and sauté for 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

4Add the mushroom mixture, green onion, and vinegar to a food processor. Process until very fine. It will not be smooth.

5Transfer to a large bowl and add the quinoa, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, hempseed, and flour. Mix until well blended. Form into six patties the size of the burger buns.

6Heat remaining oil in a large skillet and fry one patty at a time so that you can flip it easily. Fry until golden brown on each side.

7Assemble the double deckers: Lay down the bottom of the bun, add mustard, lettuce, patty, red onion, lettuce, dairy-free spicy mayo, patty, dairy-free spicy mayo, tomatoes, and top of bun.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
