{"0":"To cook quinoa for the above recipe:","1":"1 cup uncooked quinoa","2":"2 cups water","3":"1\/2 teaspoon salt","4":"In a medium saucepan bring the 2 cups water and 1\/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Add quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and the seeds are tender. Allow to cool for a few minutes.","5":".","6":"In a large bowl combine the 2 rounded cups of cooked quinoa, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, carrot, eggs, flour, green onions, sugar, pepper, cumin, salt, and garlic powder.","7":"(To help them stay in patty form and not fall apart, I cook them on med-low slowly so they have longer to set-up without burning. Makes them easier to flip, too.) Heat a frying pan and a couple teaspoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Mixture will be slightly sticky, so using a 1\/4 cup measuring cup, drop mixture into pan and lightly flatten to 1\/2 inch thick. Fry until golden-brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Makes approx. 10 burgers.","9":"Per burger: Calories 132; Protein 8 g; Fat 5 g; NET Carbs 12 g; (Fiber 2 g); Sugar 0 g; Sodium 200 mg"}
