01
Step 1
Start by bringing some water to a boil in a saucepan, then add the quinoa. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the quinoa is soft and all the water is absorbed—this usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. While that’s cooking, toss the carrot into a food processor and pulse it until it’s roughly chopped. Then add the cooked quinoa, garbanzo beans, green onions, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, and cumin, pulsing just enough to combine everything. Transfer this mixture to a bowl.

Step 2
Next, stir in the peas and corn, then pop the bowl into the fridge for about 15 minutes to let the mixture firm up a bit. Once chilled, shape the mixture into patties. Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until they’re golden and crispy on both sides—about 4 to 5 minutes each side.

Step 3
While the patties are cooking, mix together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, cilantro, and curry powder to make a tasty sauce. Serve the burgers warm with a generous drizzle of the tahini sauce on top.
