For extra flavor: 50-75 g coarsely chopped walnuts, olives or feta cheese in large pieces

​

Directions:

Rinse the quinoa in several teams of water. Put it in a saucepan and cover with 3-4 cm of water. Cook the quinoa under a lid for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it soak for 10 minutes. Aim for any excess water from.

Clean and chop the mushrooms finely. Roughly grate the onion or cut it into tiny cubes. Grate or squeeze the garlic. Peel and grate the beets coarsely. Mix all ingredients and stir it all well and thoroughly together. The more you touch, the more the farce binds. It is still a little loose, but gathers during frying. Add if necessary. walnuts, cheese or olives. Optionally: Let the farce rest a little.

Fry the parts well with oil over medium (high) heat until they have a good crust and are thoroughly cooked. It takes 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness. Press them lightly flat and turn them once they have got crust.

​

Tip: Fry double the onion and mushrooms in oil over medium heat until brown and add them to the mince, instead of the raw ones. It gives more flavor.
