4 basil leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tbsp dill, finely chopped
1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
1 medium zucchini, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp parmesan cheese

Instructions
Combine uncooked quinoa and water in a small sauce pan, bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook covered until the water is gone and quinoa is tender. Allow to cool.
Grate the zucchini, place into a colander set over a bowl. Sprinkle some salt over the grated zucchini to help draw out the moisture. Let sit for 10-15 min, then squeeze out all the juice.
Add cooled quinoa to a food processor along with chickpeas, herbs, red onion, garlic, paprika, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and ginger. Pulse until well combined. Transfer to a large mixing bowl with zucchini and stir gently.
Season with salt and pepper. Form into burger patties and set on a baking sheet. If not cooking right away refrigerate until ready.
