That looks great! I'm a bit confused though, you only get 1 Healthy extra per day, so have you synned the other cheeses and milk??

Re: Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Quinoa Burgers

Hi there Christine, I avoided putting an approx time for roasting the vegetables, because ovens can vary greatly. But I try to put approx timeswhere possible. If you have a HEb spare you could make some wholewheat breadcrumbs to perhaps bind these together more. But I found working the mixture firmly together with the one egg worked enough for me, they did crumble a little, but still held their shape in the rolls. I will be sure to improve the recipe next time I make these (I have them on the menu again for this week). Thanks for your comment :)

I'm making this dish right now and I noticed a few things that would make it easier for people to follow. I chose this recipe because is calls for quinoa, and I have quite a bit of it cooked already - would be helpful to say how much 1/3 cup quinoa measures out to be once cooked (1 cup, says the internet). It would be nice to estimate roasting time for people so they can budget time to make the recipe.
Note: perhaps some tips on how to get it to bind? I cooked them in egg rings to keep them together in the pan, but once we started eating them they just fell completely apart and we both wound up with a big pile of crumbled quinoa mess on the plate. Any ideas?

yes it is 2 hours cooking time, on a very low heat. The slow cooking improves the flavour, you could cook it for a shorter time if you prefer on a slightly higher heat.

Is 2 hours coking time on the stove the right time - thought the veg would disappear in that time?
My kind of food - used a lot of your recipes for my SW wife.

Absolutely scrummy. Loads of flavours !! Can't wait to make again. Printer friendly version is slightly different to main web page though, so I didn't have the cider vinegar. Still gorgeous though :)
