"Fantastic recipe from my favorite web site skinny taste.com. I make this at least once a week. Quinoa is very good for you and delicious as well. 1 cup of uncooked quinoa equals 3 cups cooked quinoa."

So delicious and easy to make. I topped the patties with a red pepper relish from another recipe, but these patties on their own are fantastic.
